    Changing symptoms

    The vet was thinking polyps but wasn't sure. Her blood work was 100% normal, X-rays normal too. They scoped her and found nothing but the vet said her scope wasn't small enough to really get in there. Her balance is basically normal now but her breathing isn't. Even as I sit here and type...

    Changing symptoms

    She ruled out a brain tumor only. When she was dizzy and stumbling she was walking in circles, but going both ways. The vet said that indicated she did not have a tumor. Other than that we don't know. Se said at this point the polyps would normally make their way out of the ear canal but she...

    Changing symptoms

    I posted before in relation to my cats condition, but her symptoms keep changing and she isn't getting better. It started a couple of months ago. We noticed her stumbling around, she could barely walk let alone jump into windows or even onto the bed. We immediately took her to a vet that...

    Losing balance in hind legs

    So kind of great news. I took her to my actual vet on Thursday who was not thrilled about the medcam prescription. She pulled my records from the other vet and concluded that little birdie has vertigo. She said other cats she has seen with vertigo stress themselves out, and will pant and freak...

    Losing balance in hind legs

    I will keep you updated.  Her stagger seems to be getting better although now she seems very distant.  She's been on the antiinflammatory since Saturday.  Spoke to the vet yesterday and she said she was hoping it was her hips but if she still seems off then it is most likely neurological (which...

    Losing balance in hind legs

    It's hard to tell if she's improving. I want her to be better so I am not sure if I'm being too optimistic or not. She jumped off the bed just fine but the stumbled a few steps later. She's still walking in circles and is just not her alert little self. She's moving very slowly (she did just...

    Losing balance in hind legs

    Our 4 year old cat has recently seemed to have lost some control of her hind legs. We noticed it earlier this week. She will try to jump and fall. We even noticed she would stumble while simply walking. I had her in the garden with me yesterday (she only goes out with us) and she was...
