Hey there the vets think it may be a spinal issue but he has been poked and prodded for months now and seems in absolutely no pain. They vet did also think it could be a nerve issue as his reflexes in his back legs are weakening when tested each time. I am going to ask for  spinal test though -...

Hi There I wanted some help and advice about the problem my cat Sylvester has. Some of you may have noticed I have already posted here with his symptoms etc. Long story short – for 4 months he has had very week hind legs, he developed twitches and tremors however they seem to have calmed down...

Hey There. I would get him to a vet as soon as you can. Call another vets practice near you and ask if they have an emergency vet available. The only reason I say that is because its better to get your cat checked as soon as possible obviously. The vet may give him a shot of anti-biotics...

Thanks so much for all of your help! I will use all of this information tomorrow when I call the vets. I had asked about the different types of sedation but I wasnt given a straight answer. I was uust told that the equipment wasnt modern to be able to adequately perform an X-Ray without...

Hi Guys So I posted on here about my cat 15 year old male cat Sylvester a few weeks ago and got some great advice about his condition. So he still has very weak hind legs, getting weaker and weaker. Slightly dragging them when he walks and when he goes for a poo he collapses after it as if its...

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Yes I really do not know why ANY of the vets we have tried (we have tried around 6 vet practices here) will not do an X-Ray without anaesthetic. Apparently its not possible the vets have said, but clearly it is. Sylvester is the most gentle cat in the...

Hi There I have posted before about my cat Sylvester having this unknown problem. No vets can diagnose him :( We have narrowed the problem down to his right hind hip. Whenever he goes to the toilet for a poo, he collapses and his back right leg goes really really weak. He twitches and jerks...

We will keep going with the acupuncture now  for as long as we can. Thanks for your advice on Miralax too, I will look this up and see if we can get it here in Britain :) 

We have no idea why our vet and the other 4 vets in the area that we have tried all disagree to X-Rays without anaesthetic. We have tried our hardest to persuade them. It could be the type of machinery we use here? I don't know, they just all think we wont be able to do it. None have even tried...

Hi There It does seem neurological with your boy. I really hope you get to the bottom of whats wrong with him. I did read that if they lick themselves it is the only way that they can relieve themselves of neurological problems. My cat actually still has an appetite but just seems to be losing...

Yes, she has given us all the direction we need regarding food. Cat milk was suggested so that he could put some weight on, as he seems to be losing it rapidly. A mix of wet and dry food was suggested too He is also an incredibly tolerant cat, never has ever scratched anything or anyone in his...

Hi There I have a 14 and a half year old male cat Sylvester who is currently suffering from an unknown illness. He is a very very intelligent cat, he has been allowed outdoors whenever he feels like it and has hunted mice/birds in the past also. Around 1 year ago he started to sit with one of...
