Cat Acting Strange

Talked with the vet. Calvin did not have a stroke either. It appears the neurological problem is in his front half of his body. He can't control his front legs. He did not respond to the medicine as of last night. The vets want to keep working with him and give him time. Seems he loses control of his legs, but can regain himself after some time. They said this is one of the most unusual cases they've seen. I will keep all posted. OH...they did say it appears is in very little, if no pain. Thank Goodness!!

Oh my goodness - what a weird thing to have happen to this poor guy:( :( is there any hope for recovery??? I feel so bad:( :(

The vets are hoping for him to recover. They told us to be patient.

Oh K & L - so sorry to hear about Calvin - poor little furkid. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
So long as he's not in pain - that's important.

:( :(

Oh Calvin boy :( Lots and lots of good thoughts for you from Belgium, hope you feel better soon.

Wow! :( What a shocker. It's a relief that he's in no pain, but the little guy must be shocked. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Is the vet trying therapy, medicine, or a combination? :confused:

Yes, they're trying both. He's just not responding with his front paws:confused:

Vet just called, Calvin took a turn for the worse and had to be put down. I'm just so upset.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that, poor Calvin. But he's better now. Hang on there ok? You're in our thoughts.

I am so, so sorry about your loss of Calvin. My thoughts are with you. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Calvin. Holding you in our thoughts and prayers.

OMG!!! I sure hope Calvin is OK!! I would be just beside myself!! {{{K&L and Calvin}}} That does sound very strange! I'm glad the vets are keeping him for observation and are doing their best to figure out what is wrong. I certainly hope things are better soon! I can imagine the anxiety you must be feeling. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Let us know what you find out **hugs**

Oh, I was stunned to read the results. I am so sorry that you have lost Calvin and having this happen so rapidly must have been a huge shock for you.

Did the vet have permission to put him down so rapidly, and did you have an opportunity to see him?

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh yes, 2 vets got on the phone at different times and recommended this as the most humane thing for him. I trust them explicitly. I couldn't go see him. They said he was beginning to be very vocal (in pain), his body was not responding, and I didn't have the heart to see him in this condition. I don't handle situations like this very well. Unfortunatley my husband was out of town or he would've stayed with him till the end. I feel bad for my husband to find out this long distance. This happened so rapidly and the worse part is the unknown of what or why caused this. Our other 15 cats are just fine so the vets don't feel it was anything toxic, his blood work was perfect so they don't think it was anything contagious. Guess it will be something will never know. It's hard to lose a beloved animal friend and companion. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and concern.

I am so sorry :( :( :( :( to hear about Calvin. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.... and we are all here on Pet Talk to help support you through this difficult time.----
