Hi There,

I am so sorry about what you and your baby are going through.

The most likely cause of sudden rear-leg paralysis is a blood clot. Check and see if the rear legs feel cold when compared to the front legs. Also try to tell if the rear feet pads have a bluish tint and gently pinch the toes to see if there is any response. If the feet are cold and pads are blue a blood clot is likely. The only treatment would be something to try to dissolve the clot, such as heparin.

A steroid shot can be very dangerous if a cat has a heart problem. Only if this has been ruled out 100% would it be safe.

I'll keep your baby in my prayers.
