My beautiful 18 year old cat had a stroke this morning, she has survived two near death experiences in the last 3 years and has come back from them and had radioactive iodine treatment for her hyperthyroidism about 3 months ago and was doing so well, she had put loads of the weight bck on, eating, really enjoying life. She looks much younger than 18.
This morning I heard a big crash in the bathroom and she was just lying there.
I got her up and she managed to walk down the stairs but I can see there is a right sided weakness and she is dribblinbg out of the right side of her mouth.
She ate a big breakfast, managed to jump up on the sofa and was licked her paws after breakfast she also managed to use the litter tray.
So I know she is safe for now. I had to go to work because I work in a hospital and it's a pandemic.
I'm really hoping it's a trans ischaemic attack and not a full stroke, it's nearly the weekend and I'm rooting for her. I'm so worried [sad}
