I had a holistic vet and they had my cat take probiotics everyday, they gave me "RxVitamins for Pets Rx Biotic". I mixed it in liquid fish oil every morning and I noticed a difference. I give it to all my pets now. As per affordable food, Royal Canin has an gastrointestinal food, I don't recall...
Hi, sorry for delay, just noticed. Yes, my cat got better with gastrointestinal food (Prescription Diet I/d) for a month then back to regular food. No issue since.
Hi, last year I went on a trip for a couple days leaving a friend to watch my cat. When I came home my 16 year old cat walked out to greet me and her back legs spread out to the sides like she had no control of them. I took her to the vet and they did an x-ray. They couldn't say for sure but...
I wouldn't rule out stress. Cats are very particular and will let you know when not happy. My cat has has got along great with some cats and others not at all. Maybe try keeping the new kitten separated from the older cat to see how he reacts and slowly reintroduce.
Does your cat get fish oil...
Missed the call from my vet but on the voice message they said her blood work was all good. No increased levels to be concerned about and that she looked of good health at her checkup so to come back in 6 months for another visit. The vet doesn't seem concerned that 1 kidney is small and made no...
Hi, i just took my 16 year old female cat to the vet for her 6 month checkup. The vet did the exam and said the left kidney is small and the right one is normal. The rest of the exam went fine and she looked in good shape. She had blood work 6 months ago and the results were good. I got blood...
Good news to report. She has been eating well and walking better so i am going to assume like the vet that she suffered a strain and it's not the spondylosis that showed up on her spine in an x-ray that caused her legs to be weak. On Monday and Tuesday she has had a normally formed stool for the...
She really likes her new special food I/D and ate bunch of it. I woke up this morning and found that she puked all or most of it up. Tons of digested with 1 hairball in it. Poor kitty
I brush her with a ferminator everyday, i don't understand all these hairballs. I know she's older (16) so her...
Another update:
Vet called with blood results and said they were good, nothing in them to cause her leg weakness. When shown the x-ray yesterday he pointed out a spot on her spine near the last lumbar and sacrum. I asked today what that was and he said "spondylosis" (definition...
Back from vet they took x-rays and new blood work. They x-ray shows some arthritis in far back spine. They believe that she may have suffered a strain in the hind area. She does jump around from here to there alot so she may have fell. They think she could have suffered a strain more easily...
Her hind legs are not spreading far out like yesterday but they are weak when she walks. She's been napping most of the day. Taking her to her regular vet this afternoon.
In my google search diabetes also came up as a cause of hind legs being weak. My cat gets a complete blood test every six months and just had her urine tested last month. Is this something that would show up on her blood/urine test results or something specific they have to test for?
The...
She was just at the regular vet visit last month and her blood tests were fine except high calcium which the vet said could be a number of issues. Issues in past month were blood in urine which was treated but since then soft stool and tons of hairballs thrown up and in the soft stool...
Home from the emergency vet. No answers. They checked her out and can't say for sure what the issue is and wouldn't recommend any treatment at this time but to watch her. They gave her fluids and sent her home, told me to keep an eye on her and take her to regular vet if persists. At home and...
Just got home and my 16 year old female cat's hind legs are spreading out when she walks. Like they're week or something. I'm taking her to the emergency vet. Anyone know what this means?
I'm freaking out because i was out of town for 4 days and a friend watched her. They said she didn't eat...
