Hello,
It's been awhile since I've posted here. My cat Dax has suddenly lost mobility. He's 12 and has been taking 2.5mg of felimazole twice per day for 16 days to treat hyperthyroid.
He seemed to be responding well to meds. He started to seem less food obsessed but still eating. He put on 7 oz in weight. The last 2 days he seemed more lethargic. Last night barely moving. This morninghe couldn't even stand on his hind legs at all.
We went to the vet this morning. They said his hind limbs are warm, receiving blood, and it's unlikely to be a blood clot. They took xray and said everything looks normal, healthy spaces between discs, etc.
Vet said it's likely a fibroid that may be on the spinal cord. To rest him, help him express his bladderfor the next few days. He was given corticosteroids and sent home. They said it may works itself out or it may not.
Vet insists it's not related to felimazole.
I just want to know if anyone has any advice or seen this?
My cat is like a ragdoll. I'm devastated.
