We've had Isaac for a month now - he's 5 months old and we adopted him from the shelter. He's had a cold but doing well, putting on weight etc and has been fine as usual today up until 4pm when all of a sudden he can hardly walk. He's meowing and just sitting there and walking very reluctantly with his hind legs way under himself, kinda like how a bunny looks. He managed to get himself into his bed and there he stayed. Seems like he's extremely weak or half paralized or something.
We took him right into the vet who put him on antibiotics for the cold but couldn't explain the weakness and trouble walking. She said he has full mobility, doesn't seem to hurt anywhere and has muscle response. They gave him an antiinflammatory shot and told us to see how he is tomorrow and if he's no better bring him back in.
Anyone else had this happen/can share some wisdom?
I'm such a suck I've been crying on and off ever since it happened and would really like to know what it could be/what we can do...
Thanks everybody.
