Hi ya'll, been lurking here forever and decided to make an account.
I can't mind many posts with this issue and I plan to schedule an appointment with her in home vet asap (waiting for pay check) and she is also aware of what is going on but is uncertain as to what is happening either.
I have DLH, 2.5 years old, spayed female kitty. She was originally found as a street kitten at 5months roughly, scared for people. Took a while to get her to be okay with my boyfriend and I after adoption. Sweetest girlie. Has been on prozac to help with anxiety for over a year. Within the past several months she started to lick the end of her tail.. A LOT. An absurd amount, not just 'oh hey imma groom myself', like something is bothering her. I've been eyeing it but now, she has had 3 episodes of her back end/legs just not wanting to coordinate with her it seems.
First time it happened, she was playing with her ball and out of no where her eyes got dilated while sitting and she slowly started to turn into a meerkat before tumbling over. I was suddenly a stranger to her it seemed and she attempted to flee from me only for her rear legs.. not wanting to move? She was able to stand but running/walking was difficult for her. After the episode, completely normal again. Like nothing happened.
The following episodes were either caught at the last end or just didn't last long. Second one she just couldn't walk well on her back legs, scared of me to comfort her again (probably just terrified of whats happening to her). Third time was tonight, my boyfriend walked past her and greeted her and she started to reverse backwards like she had not coordination he stated and walked into the wall before hiding under the table for a second and running under the bed (which tells me it was a small episode).
These only last 2-3 minutes tops, but can't seem to get an answer. Side note: I can't pick her up due to her policy of all 4 paws on the ground at all times which is why I have an in home vet come out for her while also drugged on Gabapentin (this time around it'll be a higher dose to sedate her more). I'm just so lost and concerned for my little baby.
Has anyone seen this, heard of this or have ANY suggestions? I've been trying to locate a neurologist that is able to do a telemedicine about it with no luck so far..
