cat needs help from vet

Kitten/cat has trouble walking. Started limping at 5 months, x-ray normal, local vet says it is incurably neurological & recommends euthansia. Who knows what this is?

My cat had the exact same issue... feline hyperesthesia. He was 11 years old, he walking one day and was like this the next morning. I can't stop crying. Funny how much joy animals can bring to our life.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's sudden affliction. You are right about how much joy they bring us. When they suffer, we grieve. Blessings to you. Lucy

No, she went to different vets including a specialist in neurology and was diagnosed with spinal and neurological problems.

Poor Thing. This is definitely Cerebellar Hypoplasia. My CH Kitty is much more severe and living a good life with some extra care from me. These cats can live full lifespans. There is absolutely no need to euthanize this beautiful pet. There is no cure, and they usually don't get any better or any worse. Just keep him safe as much as possible. Keep away from stairs, slippery floors, etc. Best of luck to you and if you have any other questions I can answer, I will be happy to.

Hi chkittyluva,

Did your CH kitty get spayed? No vet would spay Eve, and her three week repeated cycles caused trembles and so much agitation that the quality of her life became worse and worse. The animal hospital tried to talk us into putting her down months before.

Thank you for your response. -

Thank you KeikoTeddy for your kind comment.

God bless you for bringing her inside and giving her a warm, loving home for her short life.

All cats should be so lucky.

I thought CH was a birth defect....cat is born with it. Not something that has a sudden onset. Can anyone clear this up?

Probably cerebellar hypoplasia, BUT NOT SURE BEFORE A VET DID'NT SEE HER!

Take she to a vet!

Ch is not curable, but she can live full lifespan with it. Some possible other causes: joint imflammation, some fracture/sprain... they are CURABLE.

You can't sure before a vet!

My cat had the same a few days ago. The vets told me it was caused by a blood clot that travelled to his spinal cord causing paralysis in his hind legs. They told me there as no cure and the best thing for him was to put him down. . The worst part of it was because it came from nowhere, the same day he was running around and chasing a ball just like a kitten again (he was 10) and a few hours later he was unable to move his legs.. I think what they called it was Feline Thromboembolic Disease .

Hi Lucy, I believe Eve might have had some sort of neurological storage disease (lysosomal, glycogen), since symptoms only got worse and began early in her life (5 months, I think?). Maybe she didn't have seizures or behavioral abnormalities because she was put down before showing those symptoms. I also disagree with CH diagnose; symptoms are alike, but not the same. Eve had ataxia, indeed, but that's about it. And most important: CH symptoms do not worsen with time!! Hope this helps!

i already diagnosed him, just youtube "flue shot" and Very Sad : Cheerleader Gets A Flu Shot And yary yara its same thing

WTF it is doing! THIS AINT NO CLOWN SHOW!?!??!

This appears to be a clear case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia. This is a common disease affecting the motor skills and/or central nervous system of the feline species. Cats can live long lives with this condition & if that cat is not in any pain, I would not consider euthansia unless of course you have a problem dealing with your cat in this condition.
