DCat rescue so we're not sure his age, over 15 though.
A couple of days ago he suddenly became lethargic and wouldn't get up. Yesterday he was so bad we went for an emergency vet appointment as he hadn't got any better and seems to have lost all strength in his back legs. Vet spent ages with him and we've had urine and blood test which are ok for a cat his age. They did further blood tests for which we were meant to get results today but no news yet (I've tried calling them). Vet sent us home with him saying to give him TLC and keep an eye. He was given antibiotic and anti inflammatory jabs....
We're with him now and it's killing us. Our normally living but grumpy cat is lack lustre, we have to help him in the litter tray and he is dragging himself about. We've just done a wet wipe bath as he is matted and covered in his own faeces (he's not good at allowing us to help). I am sat outside with him in the sun with a brolly held over him for shade.
Close to tears though and need hand holding as we have to just wait and see till at least Monday as the vet can't do anything yet.
I'm also 28 weeks pregnant so am a bit hormonal....
