    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    So I was just googling my cat's current symptoms and found MY old post on here from 10 years ago. I thought I'd provide an update just in case anyone ever has the same issue. It's 10 years later and Benny is still the best cat ever. His issues that I posted about went away shortly after my...

    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    Thanks guys. Yeah, they did a tox screen and checked his ears. And the fact he only got the weak legs during these 2 very brief "episodes" and then he was running around on them made the vets think his legs and circulation are fine. He is on Day 7 now without an "episode". He's in my lap...

    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    He already saw his vet (twice) before going to the neurologist. They examined his knees and joints and found nothing. Hopefully it doesn't happen again anyway, but even if it does I can deal w it. All of that testing and the vet visits were worth it to get an answer, even though we aren't...

    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    Just wanted to send out an update for anyone who was reading this and for those that gave me advice. Benny saw the kitty neurologist today and after his neuro exam, she is convinced that what happened were mild seizures. She thinks he has epilepsy, but unless the frequency or severity changes...

    Adopted SKITTISH cat

    Hey there. Does anyone have any advice for my good friend? She adopted a pretty little orange kitty about 8 or 9 months ago, and the poor little thing still doesn't come out of her hiding spot much and doesn't want to be touched. Is there a step-by-step plan my friend can follow to try to...

    Sick kitten, worried owner... :-(

    I hope your kitty recovers!! One of my kitties recently had a fever of 105.9 and the poor baby lost a pound in a week and wouldn't move. He's a big fatty, and he wouldn't even eat his once-in-a-while wet food treat. After a shot and a round of antibiotics and going back to the vet 3 days in a...

    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    Well, the vet called and told me that Benny's second round of bloodwork all came back normal. So...they are faxing a referral over to a kitty neurologist. This has still only happened twice, and I don't want to get pressured to put him under and have an MRI, the anesthesia scares me (not to...

    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    I am assuming that his blood tests ruled out diabetes. I also know that they did a thorough check of his back legs yesterday, feeling them and listening at different points with a stethoscope...so hopefully they would have caught it if his legs were cool to the touch. I will have the results...

    Cat has temporary weakness in back legs and falls twice this week - any ideas?

    Hey guys. This is Benny. He just turned 4 and has been very healthy. Last Thursday, I heard a noise on the floor and looked and he was kicking his legs. I thought he was having a seizure, so I picked him up to put him on my soft bed. He was completely responsive, but he sort of arched his...
