Got up this morning and Jade was lying in the shower room on the floor.. it must have been cooler there.

She was all wobbly on her back legs, so I rushed her to the vet. They did an Ultra sound on her. Bless, she just lay on her back with her legs in the air while they clipped her long fur off her belly and then fell asleep still on her back while they put the gel on and had a look. She never moved.. typical Jade and not just because she is sick.

The vet said her bladder was full but no signs of tumor or any blockage, they said she may have hurt her back because she was wobly on her legs.

Went back to collect her after lunch but she still hadn't pee'd so when I got her home I filled a litter tray and she tried to go but couldn't.

I was really worried so took her back to the vet and they have kept her in.

Now they think she has an infection in her bladder.

I am so worried about her, she is not a young cat and I have never seen her so sick.

Please send lots of loving vibes for her. I have to go and see her tomorrow.

You must be so worried.

Sweet Jade will remain in my prayers until this is resolved.

How old is she? Did they check her heart? Make sure they check the pulses in her legs.

She could have 'thrown a clot'. They have to check her heart and circulation as well as her bladder. I hope that this is not the case but it helps to know.

Went to see Jade this morning she is very very sick. They took urina and blood samples the urine showed cells that indicate kidney failure. They have put her on a drip and are awaiting the results from the blood tests.

Her legs are warm and she has pulse so they rule out thrombosis and also crystals in the urthrea because they have been able to make her pea by pressing the bladder.

They also suspect some neurological problems which is why she cannot use her back legs but they are unsure which came first.

She is not a young cat I have had her 12 years and she was adult when I found her but we have no idea of her exact age.

She is sleeping a lot but then Jade was always so laid back nothing ever bothers her, children used to carry her around and she would just totally relax like a rag doll under their arm.

I gave her a cuddle and they said they would let me know tomorrow.

Jade seems much better today when I went to see her and Manualla the vet told me that she had eaten for the first time.. only a little but she had still easten so they are hopefull that the kidney damage has been reversed.

They told me that sometimes with kidney failure they go dizzy so that may explain why she walked wobbly.

She recognised me when I went in to see her and startde purring as soon as I spoke to her


She was also sitting half up this time instead of lying flat so this was also a good sign.. Fingers crossed

Oh my gosh....
I was afraid to open your thread but this is hopeful news.
Sweet Jade remains in my prayers that she will continue her recovery.

to you and Jade. What Jade is going through sounds a lot like what my Sam (now deceased) went through, in the last year of his life. He was walking wobbly (drunk like) and then slowly lost control of his hind end. We had every test ran, but we couldn't find the cause of his illness. He was with us for an extra year (he wasn't pain, the vet thinks) and we adapted to his special needs. I hope Jade is feeling better!

Best wishes for Jade - it is so worrying when you don't know. Hopefully she will now start to recover.
