Female cat weakness in all limbs

easye Apr 13, 2010 08:19 PM

I have a female cat named Carrie she is 17 years old. She started to go weak in her front legs yesterday. then this morning she has weakness in all of her legs. She can't get up, or move on her own (She has feeling). I took her to the vet today. They did blood work and he checked her out. Everything turned out fine except for the lethargy (sleeping a lot) and the weakness. My mom says she thinks it's antifreeze poisoning but she does not go outside. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Hi There,

I think there is a possibility that Carrie has had a stroke or has heart problems. Has the vet done a neurological exam and a chest x-ray? If not these things should be done to help with diagnosis.

Please take her back tomorrow if there is no improvement in her symptoms. I feel so bad for both of you.....and will keep Carrie in my thoughts and prayers.

Please also give an update if you can.....
