Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

Coming to think of it now, so am I. But I'm just not exactly sure what else it could be as they've ruled pretty much everything out.. He has had two seizures in the car home and about 4 since being home, but that could possibly be down to any anesthetic that may be wearing off still. I'm still hones...

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

Eric was admitted to the veterinary hospital yesterday after I showed the video to the vet. They carried out some further tests on his heart as heart disease can cause problems with the hind legs. His ECG and heart scan came back normal, much better than when they did it last week. They tried some a...

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

Yes I can definitely see the relation there, especially with the head bobbing. I thought it could possibly be an inner ear infection? But yes I will definitely show to a vet. I should be receiving a call back today from the Neurologist Eric saw last week so hopefully he can finally diagnose him. I w...

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

Hi guys
I managed to capture one of Eric's dizzy spells tonight and have put it on YouTube.

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

I don't want to make assumptions yet but the ones he's had today have only happened before and after he's had a drink I'm sorry to read that your cat has been bad again despite the good blood test report. I don't think, though, I have totally understood the quoted sentence... What do you exactly me...

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

So it has started to happen again today and it doesn't seem like a seizure, although he is immobile for about 15 seconds. He's been fine since he's been back from the vets, although not his usual self. Today he is even more wobbly on his feet and has had about three of these mini 'episodes'. When he...

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

Ahhhh very very long day! I've just come home from the clinic after locking myself out of my car :shock: Eric's MRI and spinal tap results came back normal which is good! The vet did say though that he noticed an irregular heartbeat which he didn't notice before so he did an ECG and that confirmed i...

Re: New User - Hind legs giving way.

Thanks for the reply! Ah that's interesting to know, I think i'm going to look into what nutrients he may need then to stop that from happening. Bit of an update - This morning Eric had a seizure, so I rang the vets and they got me an appointment with a Neurologist ASAP. He's had an MRI and is spend...

New User - Hind legs giving way.

Yesterday I noticed my cat's hind legs giving way when he would be walking along. It wouldn't happen all of the time and even after it happened he would walk along as if nothing happened. He is still running around, jumping up to get to the tap and is generally very happy which makes be think that i...
