    Found 4 month old, low body temp, neurological symptoms including lack of balance and possible blind

    Thank you all.  I took her into the vet this morning and was prescribed clindamycin in hopes that it might be toxoplasmosis.  This vet was not as positive as the last we saw.   I'm hoping the first was more on track.   This morning's vet recommended a neurological specialist, but we cannot...

    Please help. I'm very worried. The kitten has been doing so well, very slowly but surely progressing. She is no longer dehydrated, eats hungrily, purrs, moves her tail and even, clumsily, cleans herself; HOWEVER, today her balance has slowly but steadily declined. This morning she didn't seem to...

    Thanks for checking in :)  Yesterday was her best day yet.  She tried walking around the room a little, though she kept to the perimeter.  I think she did this so she could "feel" her way around.  She would stop whenever she reached one of the family and would crawl onto our laps or lay as close...

    aloddcats, or anyone else with experience with neurological damage / diseases, how does litter training work with these special little ones? So far, I have been putting kitty into the litter box after eating and, last night, she used the box (plastic box lid with litter, really) a few times on...

    Found 4 month old, low body temp, neurological symptoms including lack of balance and possible blind

    A few additional notes... Yesterday she started to move her tail some.  I saw this as doubly good news since 1. it had laid limp previously and 2. I'm hoping it may help her improve her balance a little.  Also, as I was just working to get the pictures below, she was just the littlest bit frisky...

    Found 4 month old, low body temp, neurological symptoms including lack of balance and possible blind

    Thank you all so much for your post and your support!  The little one is doing a little better today as well... they are definitely baby steps, but progress none the less.   As for my experience... I'm not sure how to answer that.  I am not a part of any rescue organization.  Just someone who's...

    Found 4 month old, low body temp, neurological symptoms including lack of balance and possible blind

    My husband found a very ill kitten on Monday night.  We've taken in a number of such kittens, or been called upon to do so, but I have to say I've never seen one this bad off before.  I've never posted to a forum before, but even having successfully nursed a good dozen or so back to health, had...
