Doing a bit of research for a neighbour, whose cat appears to be on his
last legs, although the vet can find nothing wrong after physical
examination and blood tests.
The cat has become very thin and appears to have lost control of its
hind quarters, staggering around and frequently falling over. It's only
a couple of years old, and all this came on quite suddenly, so my guess
is he's sustained some kind of internal injury.
Although he's still eating a little cat food, he has taken to eating
quite large amounts of garden soil, and I wonder if this might be a
indicator as to the real problem.
Thanks for any info

It may suggest that the cat is anemic.

Thanks , Gail, but I seem to remember the vet ruled that out

I don't know what it means, but it sounds like something is terribly wrong.
I would ask your neighbor to take the cat to another vet for an opinion.
Good luck,
Rhonda
