I can ask a vet but she isn't on here.

Maybe give us a hint as to what's wrong.

If there isn't a vet there might be someone who had a cat with the same symptoms.

It’s probably going to cost more than a shotgun shell and a shovel…

if it ate the dead goldfish, you're going to have to flush the cat.

I found a kitten. Got him checked out, all good, he’s about 9 - 10 months old now. His back legs started getting weak and clumsy started trips to doctor. Ears ok, spinal x-ray is ok, no broken bone or narrowed disc spaces.

Put him on steroids, 2.5mg every 12 hours for first five days and then 2.5mg once a day for the next 10 days or so. After the first 5 days he’s totally normal. After stopping steroid he makes it about 8 days and it starts over again.

It starts with him walking four or five feet and then he sits down, it eventually gets worse. Put him on prednisone a second time and he get back to 100% normal but 7-8 days off rapids and right back the same way. He doesn’t seem to be in pain.

Can you not just nuke him with prednisone for a few months at higher doses? It’s something to do with soft tissue injury like a disc or either it’s a tumor.

I’m suppose to schedule a consult in Tallahassee with the vet school for an MRInor a CT scan. That’s coming to be a couple of thousand dollars.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like your cat is pretty messed up. It might be time to tell him to get his affairs in order.

Get a shovel. Dig a hole. Put cat in hole, hit with shovel. Bury cat. Go find new cat.

Does anyone recommend health insurance for pets? One of my dogs will be six years old in 2024. I want to make sure I can give her the necessary care.

You can always get a 2nd opinion before that expensive visit.

But with medical and veterinary affairs I tend toward what my doctors say and not message boards or internet searches, which always turn up random yet convincing stuff… just see our poli board for exhibit A.

I hope that guy in Tallahassee doesn't have to send off for special tiny instruments.
