My cat is 7 years old. She is suddenly running and twitching her tail since 2 days. Now it has increased. Her body temperature is 103.6. She is getting scared running and hiding. Moving her lips like she is catching flies. Twitching her tail. She peed on me. I am very scared. Please tell me what...

...self. She'd bounce back every time but what's different now? Why is it taking over two months for her to recover mentally? Poppy has hyperesthesia which has been managed by removing her collar and that's helped greatly with the licking and creating the hot spots but I really miss taking naps...

...Tabby) has allergies, likely to the steroids used while raising animals, and we are operating under the assumption that has Feline Hyperesthesia.

...be any other reason for him to be self-mutilating. She mentioned that they try to rule out other causes before diagnosing with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome, but she said he very clearly has this condition now. My husband and I are concerned about quality of life for him. He has been on the...

Hi everyone — my cat, Princess is 5 years old and was just diagnosed with hyperesthesia. She doesn’t have a bad case of it — she doesn’t have the hyperesthesia “attacks”, but has has frequent back skin rippling and periodically pulls out fur in pattern that indicates back pain. The the vet...

Hi all. Our cat was recently diagnosed with FHS. He was ripping the fur out of his tail. Pretty mild at this point as far as FHS goes, as this is all he was doing. Our vet gave him a steroid shot (kenalog) 7 days ago. About 12 hours after the shot, he became extremely lethargic, didn't want to...

Our cat Dori is 6 years old and male, and for the past couple months he's been kind of sensitive when petted on his lower back. He usually starts licking and biting it, but he seems to have a hard time reaching it. Or he'll just kind of look irritated when petted there. Sometimes even when he's...

I think my cat Pi may have hyperesthesia. A condition where he chases his tail and sometimes bites it because it twitches by itself and puzzles him. From what I’ve read it is not life threatening and there are medications for it. I can’t get to his vet until after the new year so was wondering...

Hi there, I’m looking for some advice about my 4 year old adopted male ginger cat. We adopted Ozzy in March 2024. What we know of Ozzys background is he was given up by a man and wife couple who were moving to London and wanting a baby. They felt like Ozzy wasn’t going to fit in. Ozzy was...

We recently took in a stray 6-9 month old cat. For the past couple of weeks she randomly has fits of growling in discomfort. An episode can happen anytime, I.e., during sleep, while grooming, or whenever. Sometimes she will defecate a small amount during an episode. The vet thinks it is...

I think my cat has problems with Feline Hyperesthesia. It mostly happens when he is frustrated with something, such as not being able to go out. Apart from "rolling wave" on his skin alongside his spine, he rolls his tongue, and then sprints and runs fast as if in a kind of flight response from...

My Pi-Pi has had a problem with his tail for a few months. It twitches involuntarily and puzzles him and I think scares him. He runs when it happens to escape it which of course he can’t. Sometimes he bites at it and yowls. His only saving grace with that is he is missing 9 teeth which were...

I posted last night about Lucy having these "tic" like movements. Tonight, she got up on me as usual at bedtime...and she started these weird movements with her head. I am actually in panic-mode now. In the one, you will see her looking away from me and I moved her head back so I could get...

About a few weeks ago my cat started showing signs of Feline Hyperesthesia all of a sudden. His back would start twitching, he'd lick his tail and run around the house, looking around like crazy. These episodes would last for a while. He then started drooping an ear and kept scratching it, I...

...is down to purring or his heart issues. I will have to ask the vet at his next visit. Anyways, I stumbled on something called "Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome" and never heard of it before but I think he actually has this. It has happened maybe 15 or 20 times over the last 2 years. Almost...

Monet (15 years old) had a vet appt yesterday to find out why he isn’t eating. I give him gabapenten for his aggression and anxiety to sedate him for the appt. I gave him a dose Friday night and a dose 3 hours before at 9 am before his visit. I noticed it hit him harder than usual. He was very...

I have been through a lot with my 8 year old female cat. Been in and out of the vet and spent thousands trying to find solutions. Long story short, my main concern now is her weird behaviour with her tail. She’ll stare at it, run away from it, and recently has started aggressively growling...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone may be able to offer some advice on an issue with my cat Belle. Sorry for the long post but I'm hoping if I lay everything out someone may have some new insights. Belle is approximately 9 years old and lives with one other cat (Monkey also approx 9 but not...

Hi everyone I'm fairly certain that Humphrey has FHS. When I first got him, I just dismissed it as cat zoomies. But as i went down the google hole, I discovered what FHS is and his symptoms match exactly. It's all about that rippling back, the bolting, the meowing and the licking of the back...
