my cat is 17 years old, maybe you had a stroke?
who disappeared last Wednesday after six o'clock in the afternoon until 10 night a day later, still has not come for food etc during the night. this is very unlike him. when he returned, he could hardly walk on their hind legs, dragging behind him. took him to the vets, not knowing what had happened, tried it and now can walk. behavior is very strange, however, found in strange places, as in the log burner … he would die if I do not get it out! … not overeating, and the last wee'd night my moms desktop, which used to be well trained and was just on veterans day so I know he hasn't forgotten. Has had this with your cat and what you did? do you think is a stroke?
You have obviously looked after his cat and he gets to 17 years and then for this to happen. Why do I know? so I had three cats – one 17 the other two both 19 – lived a happy healthy life, but then suffered the same thing. Can be a stroke or the aftermath of a heart attack. When an older cat is the heart may enlarge and may begin to suffer paralysis. also face problems Both kidney and liver because their bodies are just spent. The 17-year-old had suffered a heart attack and a series of attacks. Lived comfortably for one year with daily medication but then became a lot worse and began to retain water and lost the use of their hind legs. The vet said it was another heart attack and stroke. On a beautiful late summer days, sat in his favorite part of the garden with me and the vet came home and went to sleep. It was over in a couple of seconds. The other two lived longer, and everything fell shorter notice, but it was more or less the same. Engarged heart problems and kidney and liver. In both cases, both cats had a stroke. male kitten lost the use of your legs back and was unable to control his bowels or urine. The vet tried a few things, but next morning was no better and she came back out and she went to sleep. Again, be very fast. The third cat was about two months later and was a bit more traumatic. His behavior was more erratic, and lost the use of his legs a lot and still falling. She was so old that he was blind and almost totally deaf anyway. We called the vet out and he walked through the door, the cat began to have a stroke. The vet admisistered something to calm her down and make it comfortable and then she could relax a little, but she said that things only get worse so once again, had to make her sleep. This was always the feisty cat and decided to try to put a bit of a struggle, but the truth was that he was dying, and obviously in some discomfort. Once again, it was very fast – about 4 seconds of the injection to death. If your cat is unable to control his pee, then it is a good sign – Especially if you have a very strong odor. The fact that sitting is not good either. There is a slight possibility of this happening and to regain a while, but it seems eventually this will lead. Like my cat 17 years old, could live for a year or so with medication, but it must be able to walk. If he can not, then you are condemned to a miserable existence. 17 years is a good life for the cat and the evidence that has led a happy life with affection and love. In nature, nature would have taken a long time. After all that love, you deserve to show him one last kindness. When the time comes, have gone to the vet and put him to sleep in a familliar. It may cost more money, but you feel much better about ending it that way it crawled out of a veterinarian car. Of course, before considering this, please review the options of medication. It may cost a lot of money, but in the case of my 17 years of age, it really lived a very happy year where he was pampered even more than usual. But preparred for the worst, because at age 17, is unlikely to be recovered complete.
