My loving cat, "Mr. Whiskers", for many months, has not been his active self. I have taken him to several vets wanting to know answers to his progressive symptoms: dragging of left hind leg (if he moves),staggering/falling, walking against walls, head tilt, hiding under the bed, lack of interest in play, lack of eating/urination, little meowing and more moaning, eye infection/lazy right eye, urination trouble (while I hold him) and seizures.
Mr. Whiskers's vet placed him on 1/2 pill of Predisone every two days. In addition, I was told just to make him confortable since his demise could be near. Since his last seizure (about a month ago) Mr. Whiskers has been extremely unresponsive, barely moving and not responding to his name or petting.
He was so energetic and young, now he is between 6-7 years old and depressive. What should I do? Is he in pain? What are my options....

Has my kitty lost his love for life?

helen says:
his head tilt and lameness suggest a stroke. if he is having seizures, has he been prescribed anything for these such as phenobarbitone. if the vets have told you he does not have much time left all you can do is make him as comfortable as possible until the day comes when you have to make that inevitable decision. sorry i couldnt be more help
