Does anyone know about these three diseases? We're pretty sure Belle Starr has one of the three. Can anyone help me out with a diagnosis. We took her to the vet a few weeks ago, and he said she definitely has a neurological problem... it's worsened and I'm trying to figure out what it is.
Belle's Symptoms:
Almost constant bouncing. She will just stop and bounce, and then sit down. Everytime she's standing, she bounces.
Bouncing while eating, drinking, or leaning down to sniff. It seems to get bad when she leans over to do something.
Litter box issues. She can't hold herself up while using the litterbox. She gets urine all over her, and most the time can't even make it to the box. She is in perfect health elsewise, so it's not a UTI.
Weak legs. Sometimes, she'll be running or walking and her back legs will just give out on her, and she'd fall, sit for a second, and continue running.
Seems kinda dazed sometimes. Reaction time slow.
Eyesight. She has poor eyesight, especially from afar.
Inactive. She just doesn't play as much as a kitten should play. When she gets her daily dose of FeloVite II Vitamin paste, she is active for about 10-20 minutes, and then she is back to inactive. She normally remains inactive for the rest of the day, except before bedtime, she plays for a few minutes.
Can't make even small jumps. Not even one a few inches high.
So, can anyone relate to this? Anyone have an idea? I think my vet is stumped with this one.
This is the best web-site I've found about it. Anyone have any others? I'm sure it's one of the three choices, but I can't make out which one. What do you think?
