Special Needs Neurological Baby - "Sahara" UPDATE vet visit!!!

[QueenScoopalot]

YES, Sahara is a keeper ... not going to break my promise to her now that I know she isn't blind!!! She still needs a loving home, and she has it here with me!!! We think she had such terrible earmites that the discomfort alone was causing her circling about .... we will just give it a few days and see if that improves.

Jan, I just call her a lynx-point siamese ... but I'm not that educated on all of the different markings!

Oh, YES her pupils did react to a flashlight in the dark .... absolutely purrfectly!

YIPPY!!!!!!!!! ~JUMPING FOR JOY~ Sahara has to be one of the most gorgeous little babies that I've ever done seen! And she's a Flame Lynx-point lol! I hope those buggies quit buggin' her. Did the vet mention possible cerebellar hypoplasia to you as the cause of her imbalance? Misty my lil' old girl was born with brain damage, but not the typical CH (caused by distemper in the mom cat while carrying the litter). Vets & I theorised that she was stuck in the birth canal and suffered oxygen loss. She swirls in circles and can barely walk a straight line. Is Sahara similar? Please kiss that sweet little face for me! Dirt & all..I'd do it!

Thanks, Jan! I thought the Flame Lynx was red or "orange" .... Sahara is the grayish - taupe color. Maybe she looks more red in the picture? It doesn't matter any way ... she's HOME!

The vet that saw her, is fresh out of vet school ... I hardly ever get to see my original vet anymore! I'm not sure she knows much about neurological problems. Sahara walks more normal than she does in circles, and some times she takes a few steps backwards then goes in circles. But then she can run across the room with no problems. It's erratic. I'm guessing that whatever it its, it's not too bad and probably nothing can be done about it anyway. Time will tell, I suppose.
