Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for this lengthy posy.
I was fostering a kitten for several months. She was about 6 weeks old when I took her, and she was about 7-8 months old when she started having this issue. I came home from work one evening to find her limping. I tried to get her to the shelter vet but due to a whole list of complications, I couldn't get her there. She seemed to improve after 2 days but then started having issues with her front paw. The next day, she was unable to walk at all and constantly fell over. The vet said nothing was broken and they were going to keep her for observation for a few days. I got a call about 10 mins after I left saying that she started seizing and due to the severity of it, they euthanized her. I have checked the area she was in for anything that may have poisoned her and found nothing. I can't find anything that could have fallen on her or injured her. They said that she might have been born with a defect in her brain that didn't surface until now. She lived with my 4 cats and none of them are having any issues. No changes in behavior or appetite. No other symptoms. Has anyone else had an experience like this?
