My 3 year old cat came home Sunday morning walking strangely arched back and his rear legs where not synchronised with the front ones. I looked up the signs and rang the vet. I did what I could to stop him from getting worse but in the evening he couldn't use his back legs. I brought my cat for X-rays it turned out to be a slipped disk. He is still at the vet getting steroids and anti inflammatory and there is no improvement. One day I get a call from the veterinarian that the cat might need surgery, the next day that surgery might not help and that he will really have poor quality of life... I said I will not give up on my cat and I wont. I have looked up a couple of sites about disabled cats and how they can adapt with lots of patience, love and care. And as I am still hoping that he would recover (there is still a chance) I would like advice on caring for a disabled cat, how to cope and maybe happy ending stories.
