My 8 year old male cat, Tanner has been having a periodical hind leg limping and parlysis problem.
He as been to 4 different vets and no one can find an answer. His limping comes and goes and in the beginning it was a small limp. Improved. A month later he was walking on his hocks, ataxia. Improved. His jumping and stair climbing is no longer as good as it used to be. He has had on and off limping now for 4 months.
The following test have been done:
Full Blood panel - All Negative. - White cell count - good. - Couldn't ask for better blood work
Diabetes - Negative
Thyroid problem- Negative
Poison - Negative
Full Body XRay - Everything looks good. Small artheritis setting in but not the cause
Heart trace -normal
ECG - Normal
Heart - small murmur - according to vet, not enough to cause this
Heart - not the problem
UTI - Normal
Fecal Sample - Normal
Vaccinated - Tested for some diseases - Negative
Other symptoms include:
Occasional food regurgitation,trouble seeing water
I don't know where else to turn. We have seen 4 different vets now and I don't know how to help my cat. He is in good spirits despite his limping, still cuddling, eating and drinking.
I often think his abdominal looks distended but all the vets say "no" We have been to the University Vet College as well as local Vet clinics.
I thank you for your time
