I have a kitten named Simon. He is 4 months old. I recently was on a trip and had my neighbor feeding my cats. He was fine the first couple of days then my boyfriend came to check on them one day and Simon was unable to walk. He didn't seem in pain but just couldn't stand or walk. He took Simon to the vet and they did blood work and xrays and didn't see anything. They could not get a urine sample. They recommended a neurological consult but we decided to wait and see. They gave him a shot of dexa...something and also prescribed some prednisone. The last vet appointment was on last Saturday. He started to show improvement early this past week and by Friday he was walking around...climbing up on the bed using his claws. He was using the litter box and eating and drinking. We thought everything was great.....until last night. He was on the couch sitting next to my boyfriend. My son came in the front door and it scared Simon and he jumped off the couch and started to run then just collapsed and wouldn't walk again. We took him to my room to calm him down.....still wouldn't walk...obviously he was scared. His pupils were dilated for about an hour. He did calm down and just laid on the bed. This morning he still couldn't walk. Will lick water off my finger but not eating. I did carry him to the litter box and held him up. He did pass a stool but no urination.
He just lays there. I will touch base with the vet tomorrow. Is it possible for a cat to be so scared that it loses it's capacity to walk for a period of time???
Now we did get him from a farm and do not know his background. He received all his initial shots as a kitten and has showed negative for feline leukemia twice. We always thought he was a little "slow" but we just always considered him our special kitty. We love him and just don't want to see him in any pain. This is the strangest thing I have ever seen..
