Yesterday our Sweet Dee woke up from a long nap and all of a sudden started stumbling very bad. She couldn't walk right and fell over a few times. I put her on my chest as I sat on the couch and she stayed there a minute but then left and fell again. She got off the couch and stumbled and just layed on the floor as if defeated.
We carried her to the bed room and had her lay there. She became very standoffish. She didn't want to be pet. She is usually very needy and loves attention but didn't want any love at all. I thought she was passing away. She looked very weak!
We called the emergency vet and after a litany of tests we found nothing. All we know now is that her back legs are very weak. She has pepped up a little since it first happened but she still can't walk right.
Last year she had some type of seizure. We brought her to the vet and realized she was hyper thyroid. (Don't know if the seizure and hyperthyroid is linked.) We had the iodine treatment. Everything seemed to take and she seemed to be fine after.
After these set of tests, Her blood is fine, her urine is fine. She had a hyper thyroid test done again, it was good, liver and kidney tests were negative, no diabetes. $700 worth of tests and we have no answers at all. Worst of all, she has no treatment.
We are certain she didn't sustain any injury to cause this.
Does anybody have any experience with this?
As of today she has an appetite again, she can go to the washroom and she purrs a little. She doesn't seem to suffer at all, but there is an obvious difference in her.
