Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2007paralyzed cat
Yesterday my mom found my cat our inside/outside cat sitting by our aprtment in a daze. She could hardly stand or walk strait, and she was twitching/convulsing. We live in san antonio and It was a pretty hot day out, so my mom figured it was just heat stroke (alothough it had never happend befor and there's always plenny of water for her) and we got her to drink water till she wouldnt drink anymore. It's now been more then 12 hours and she's seems almost comletely paralized from the neck down.She doesnt seem to be in any kind of pain, but im sure she must have gotten hold of somesort of toxin, beacause my girlfriend saw her earlyer that morning and said she wasn't walking strait. We haven't taken her to a vet, and due to money we probably won't be able to. Does any one have any idea what might be wrong with her or what we can do? I Forgot to add. She has pooped once and peed atleast 2 times, she can kinda move her front legs and tail, but nothing ellse below her neck. TAKE HER TO A VET!! Most vets will allow you to pay your bills off a month at a time if you explain what your finances are. Your cat needs to see a vet now.

I know this is a dilemma for you since you maybe don't have the $100 or more that a vet bill could cost. Perhaps if you call your local animal shelter or Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals they may have a suggestion.

Does >any one have any idea what might be wrong with her or what we can do? Tick paralysis is another possibility. Inspect her skin thoroughy and remove any ticks. I am not exactly walking around with a billfold with 100 dollar bills, but if one of my cats was like yours, money would be my last thought...I care for my cats too much to see them sick...Please take kitty to the vet...ASAP!!!

Does > any one have any idea what might be wrong with her or what we can do? Take your kitty to the vet, one of my cats was injured about 6-8 months ago. This may sound odd but he was paralized from the tail down. The seriousness of this is the cat was unable to may bowel/bladder movements independently. We battle with our cattle for months, intially he was coming around, his back right leg was casted for at least 5 to 6 weeks. His personality was coming back, he as cleaning himself, playing, then bowel impactions started, he started losing lots of weight. Towards the end started seizuring violently, sadly we had to put him down to ease his pain and ours, I still miiss him today. >> Yesterday my mom found my cat our inside/outside cat sitting by our >> aprtment in a daze.

ROFLMAO If I had to deal with six cat personalities I would end up in an insane asylum. One arrogant princess (who is cranky in the mornings until I dish out the canned food) is all I can handle. But it all evens out in the end. I just finished mounting my stamps with some help from Isis who decided to walk around on the table while I had the 1973 India commemoratives spread out and now she's on the floor listening to music while I gripe here on the newsgroup. <-: Who is it that has five cats?

Feed cats, Vacuum hair, Empty litter box. Feed cats, Vacuum hair, Empty litter box. Feed cats, Vacuum hair, Empty litter box. Feed cats, Vacuum hair, Empty litter box. Feed cats, Vacuum hair, Empty litter box. Feed cats, Vacuum hair, Empty litter box. Start a new week. Actually, I do not have any carpets--all hardwood or tile, so I just get the dust mop or swiffer mop and go around the house..the youngest one follows me around when I do this. My mom had 6 kids so I guess I am following in her footsteps with 6 - 4 legged kids :) I can identify somewhat what she went through in keeping us all in line. But, I wouldnt know how to act with just one or two cats :-) I even take care of the strays outside...my cats are strictly indoors....the other day, the neighbors unspayed female was taking on the resident tom who was more than willing to obliged...not sure how that turned out, but Morris came back with a bloodied ear..I tried to wash it off.. didnt see him yesterday...hope he;s ok...

Me, Whimp???

Wimp? I'm a hero! I give my whole life, my life's blood, my money, my time, and all my energy to one cat. I serve Her Majesty. I named her after Isis, the Queen Mother Egyptian Goddess of the Universe! She gets her ears scratched, her picture taken, has a personal groomer and bather (the vet), and I scoop the litter box once a day. I believe in the One God and worship accordingly. If you have Xumpteen cats then you are a pantheist and no single deity gets his or her full measure of worship! Now, think THAT over! <-: Mike in Illinois > No not you barb ^!^ I know you got a brood just like me It was directed > at Mike ;-) [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] >>>>>>> still miiss him today. >>>>>> we have three cats so they do seem like "cattle" at times. Actually Do it for 6 multiple times a day for each of them at their beckon call and keep them all satisfied at the same time that is a true test of worship. If I was a stud I would be rich and famous I would be adored by woman from a far for having multiple talents Multiple gods are fine in my book multiple prayers multiple answers not stuck with the same old answer or routine keeps life interesting and moving I am not knocking you Mike any person that takes the time, energy and love to care for any animal is a hero in my book ;-) > Wimp?

Mike, when I am able to get another cat, if it's a female, She will be named Bast - Queen of the Cats.

Bonnie I am a stamp collector,too....I recently put my Citation Stamp Album (which is the size of an unabridged dictionary) on a stool...Mama climbs up on top and makes her self at home...Am considering getting the kids a cat tree for Christmas...but do they have one with 6 seats on them?

I have a high wattage table lamp on my stamp collecting table. She wants to come up, walk on my stamps, stroll on my computer keyboard, and then flop underneath the Maximum Heat Table Lamp.

I'll be the bad guy and say, take the poor thing to the humane society so they can put it out of its misery. For what you would spend on vet bills you could feed a kid in Africa for 5 years. Sort of related, I found a kitten (all my animals are foundlings) a couple years ago and took it in. It weight one pound and was the cutest thing ever. I was not familiar with feline leukemia until this time around and that was a heck of a thing, having to put this cute little kitten down. Vet says the cat had a shot but would most likely only live acouple rough years anyway. So that was a rough week. |
