Hi! I live in the Midwest. We have 3 dachshunds and 2 black kitties, about 2 years old. We got the kitties initially as mousers from the pound and they became indoor/outdoor cats. They are spayed and UTD on shots.
Two months ago we found our 2 year old Momma, laying in a pool of bile, under my husband's bed. I picked her up and took her to the vet. He did a blood panel on her and found "nothing wrong." He gave her a wide spectrum antibiotic, anti-nausea meds and sent home an oral antibiotic (not well received by her!!!)
I still was not happy. She was not eating, so I took her to our alternate vet who also examined her and found nothing, but gave her an antibiotic injection and ringers lactate, as she was a bit dehydrated. He found nothing wrong either. A couple of weeks later I took her back since she wasn't using her litter box all this time. The UA was normal. He also said to give her warmed baby chicken food to whet her appetite. IT WORKED!
All this time, she has not jumped on any of the furniture. Shortly after the incident, I put her on a table for her food. We keep it there to keep away from our doxies. She backed up and fell backwards off the table. Another time I put her food on a tote and she was confused how to access it. She has gotten better about jumping off furniture since.
She "remains" weak. She usually sits to drink. Today she wobbled as she walked. she spilled backwards when she lifted her leg to groom herself. She does NOT walk on her haunches. Her ears and feet have felt cool. Doc put her on Elavil to see if she would use the box.
I have already taken her once to the pound, thinking I couldn't spend any more $ on her, but didn't have the heart to leave her there.
Has anybody else gone through this and found a solution? Thank you in advance!
