Boy, it really does sound like some kind of nerve damage or a stroke. My friend's dog had the same problem and the vet feels that she had a stroke but she isn't in any pain and has lost control of her bowels and urine so she must wear a diaper. That was about a year ago and the dog has adjusted to her situation and is doing fine.

I do understand about finances, believe me, as do all of us here on PT. As my signature says "Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all". Emergency clinics serve their purpose but, you're right, they're so expensive. Hopefully, you'll find a vet who realizes that we're all in these tough economic times together and will give you some payment options.

Please keep us updated on your kitty and know that prayers are going up right now that all will be well quickly and easily. Keep the faythe.
