Hi there, I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.

I've noticed in the past couple of weeks my cat Angel having very wobbly back legs, it's like they just buckle under her randomly. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, still being affectionate as always and eating normally. She was diagnosed as diabetic about 6 months ago but we changed her food and that pretty much reversed it.( Blood sugar levels went back down to normal..we tested at home) Shes also still able to go up and down stairs alright but I feel like this is something that will go from bad to worse very quickly. My heart is literally breaking...I know taking her to the vet is an obvious thing to do(and I am) but from what I'm seeing a lot of people have been told the wrong thing, which amounts to big $$$ that I don't have.

Any advice would be so appreciated!

Of course it could be anything.  The two things that come to mind is kidney function and low potassium.  Of course low potassium could be caused by any number of things.  To know for sure you will need to get blood work done.

Check out www.felinediabetes.com. They have a message board too. Neuropathy is common to diabetic cats, and many use cobalamin (B12 injections) with success.
