...not to get an MRI (can't afford it, and I don't plan on doing surgery even if I could afford it either,) but the neuro thinks she has a meningioma on her cerebellum (balance issues, intention tremors, eye movements, etc.). We put her on prednisolone and she responded great with no side...

Let's hear something positive going on in your life. Something as small as a good cup of coffee, a sunny day or a phone call can be a small positive in your life. Remember to keep it positive. :hearthrob: I have $65 in Kohls cash and 20% off. Looks like I will be doing some online shopping...

My cat Freya is having really weird issues, and I'm getting nuts. She's generally lovely, quiet and cuddly, she follows me when I call her, plays a lot, she's very smart and learns things quickly. But... Occasionally she goes through some "mental blackouts", and when these happen, it seems she...

Please help 😩 My 12 year old male cat has a clean bill of health (blood, urine and CT). However, he has had a very stressful year (3 surgeries - dental, PU and a meningoma brain tumor). Lately he has been over grooming his sides and I notice twitch/spasm like moves on his middle/lower back and...

We had to say goodbye to our 14-year-old kitty 5 months ago due to meningioma (tumor of membrane around the brain). I’m just now able to write about it without completely breaking down; I want to warn others that symptoms may not be what it appears. He appeared healthy and full of energy until...

My 14 year old friend, Nub, just had a rapidly escalating eye problem. One of his pupils became enlarged all of a sudden on Tuesday, and we took him to the ER, who referred us to an ophthalmologist. We went yesterday and she performed more tests and saw a lesion on the back of his eye, as well...

Hi All. I am brand new here, and stumbled upon your site multiple times in the last week and a half in my relentless Google searches trying to find possible explanations for my baby girl's symptoms. This is veryyyyyyy long because I was trying to be as thorough as possible with the details so...

My cat has gone blind. I'm trying to crate him (practice run) because he isn't used to it yet and has hurt himself. We're home as much as possible but obviously there are some things we have no control over. We are doing our best to retrain him to use aids, put up barriers, scent markers, etc...

...further issues, my vet said we could give him an anti-seizure drug. My concern is that what little I could find on the Internet about meningioma, which would be the slow type of cancer which would be operable, seems to indicate that while operating will provide many cats with up to a couple...

...bloodwork, urinalysis, brain MRI, CSF tap. Based on all of her symptoms the neurologist prepared us for the likelihood of her having a meningioma. It's unncommon for cats her age to get epilepsy, and especially since she's not having grand mal seizures, it's even more strange. Her symptoms...

Last week my cat was diagnosed with IVDD. He wasn't moving around very much, had trouble getting up, and had obvious trouble walking. After x-rays, the vet prescribed an anti-inflammatory and painkiller and we have another visit this Friday. Unfortunately, I'm not able to find much on IVDD in...

...is circling. My husband and I took her to the vet where they did the usual routine but suggested that the probability of a brain tumor (meningioma) is very high. After we get the bloodwork results tomorrow, we will move forward with speaking about the possible brain tumor. The vet mentioned...

...you fix it?  Meow?"  Human:  "Huh.  I wonder how that got broken.  Oh well.  Too bad.")  Then, about 12 years ago, apparently, a benign meningioma (brain tumor) started growing in my head.  It was finally diagnosed and removed 2 years ago, by which time it was 2 inches across, but there was a...

...see an internal medicine(IM) specialist. An emergency vet trip, consult with 2 IMs, a neurologist and an MRI later we had the answer. A meningioma. She was diagnosed Wednesday and had a craniotomy Thursday morning. She was kept overnight so they could administer meds to help shrink the tumor...

Hello, we have a 11.5 year old bengal who periodically becomes ill for a day, with the cycles becoming more frequent. Starting last year, he exhibited symptoms every month or two, for the last 6 months it happens an average of once a week (6-8 days), though for the last couple of weeks it's...

...on the web about them and it looks to me like this is what's going on with Satey. The sites I've found helpful are: Skribbles' story The Meningioma NC State University site on brain tumors in dogs and cats I am currently a student, so money's tight, but I graduate in January and hopefully...

Been at the hospital yesterday and today, and catskans and MRI's results show my sister has a brain tumor (size of an egg) over her left eye, but internally, and four other tumors (smaller) on inside of left eye! They said from the size of it, and the neuro-surgeons 27 yrs. experience, it...

After many costly tests, last Friday I learned my 13-year old cat, "Baby", had a meningioma tumor in the tissue of the lining of her brain. The previous evening she had been acting really strange.....circling around the house, hugging the walls, eyes dialated, didn't seem to remember how to do...
