Personally, I dont believe in coincidences. Her vet thinks she acquired a bacteria called bartenella. This caused all of her problems... lameness, fever, joint pain, respiratory complications and since it was not caught in a timely fashion, it damaged her heart and she now has a heart murmur...

Thanks everyone

That's why I ended up going the joint tap route. Just felt defeated and didn't know what else to do. She is doing ok right now. Still not very active, but at least walking around. And sneezing alot. A friend asked if maybe she has covid 🤷‍♀️

That is exactly what her primary vet wanted me to do, he wanted me to go to the University of Illinois. When I called them to see how far out they were scheduling they basically told me over the phone that they will review her tests but probably rerun them to get their own results, and maybe...

You are not alone, even though you feel alone. I know exactly how you are feeling; angry, frustrated, scared, the list goes on. You probably don't know if you should cry or punch the wall. I know for myself, finding this site and telling her story has helped me more than anything else. I will...

What happened to your cat? I understand that the internal medicine specialist advised that I go see a neurologist, however, I believe with all of my heart it has nothing to do with that. I believe whatever this is, it has something to do with the vaccines, atopica, allergy/autoimmune problem...

You are absolutely not intruding, I welcome anyone's help and opinions. And I will answer every question the best that I can She is 8 and she has never had any reaction to any kind of medication, vaccine, or anesthesia after teeth cleaning. Other than when I first found her (about 5 weeks old...

She had X-rays and an ultrasound I just don't fully know what all they got pictures of, but when she had that done she wasn't moving at all only basically crawling to the litter box

Thank you for your support. I hope we don't have to go to food allergies because she is fat and hungry all the time and Incredibly picky. And unfortunately, when she found me and she was a starving abandoned kitten I promised her she would never go hungry again hence why she is now my plus size...

I was previously told they would have to remove a nail if they were going to test it, and that was a no for me. She doesn't see that vet anymore because they stopped returning my calls 2 years ago. They basically told me they were too busy to help her. She is actually walking, where before she...

I received an email from The Specialist this morning with the joint tap results which I don't understand. See attached for the joint tap results -- they are NOT consistent with immune mediate polyarthritis - since there is no increase in inflammation. I would suggest making an appointment...

She definitely has been better since she stopped the atopica. Antonio65 I 100% agree with you, one reason I am so frustrated. Everything I said or asked I was dismissed. I didn't particularly want to go back to this doctor but there are not many specialists close to me and I wanted to get the...

I was told the only way to find out if they have a food allergy is by process of elimination. Only eat beef for 8 weeks and see what happens, only eat turkey for 8 weeks and see what happens Did the biopsy reveal a food allergy for your magnus?

I would definitely do that because she is more important than money, but my primary vet already said she is not getting any more vaccines in the future

After many months of hospital visits and doctor visits I saw a dermatologist. I asked about doing a biopsy and he thought that it was unnecessary because no matter what it came back as the treatment would be the same. He said why hurt her if we can treat it, and I agreed. After about 2 months on...

This is what happened to her before the atopica, exactly 2 years ago. Her nails had puss coming out, her hair falling out, and her paw pads covered in sores

When she is feeling better, I feel like I can breathe again, I know I have an unhealthy attachment to her but it is what it is. I think that is what her primary vet found which is why he thought she was having a reaction to the vaccines. She does not take the liquid form, she takes the pills...

She has been on it for almost 2 years

Update I stopped the atopica on Monday oct 24th so she could have her joint tap. On Sunday oct 30th she perked up a bit and started limping around. Better than not moving at all. And monday and Tuesday even played with some yarn. So now the questions are... reaction to atopica? Or since she is...
