My 5yo male was recently treated for a fever and possible infection with Convenia antibiotic, some anti-inflammation and fluids. This was 2 weeks ago and his only symptoms were a visible 3rd eyelid, lethargy, low energy, not eating as much and he developed some congestion after our visit. Sneezing, sniffles and runny nose lasted about a week and a half and slowly improved. He was eating about a can of wet food idea while recovering but in the last 3-4 days he has barely touched his food - only small bites of wet food, some treats here and there. Definitely not enough calories. He has also developed some ataxia - stumbling when jumping onto surfaces, slow walking and unbalanced on his back legs. I've read this could be a side effect of Convenia, but it could also be a symptom of Toxoplasmosis and - god forbid - FIP
But other than the not eating as much - he has been grooming regularly, his coat is shiny, he uses his box and cuddles up with us for pets. He mostly sleeps all day long which I assumed was part of his recovery. His 3rd eyelid has gradually gone down and back to normal, same with his congestion - almost none existent. There appears to be no pain when I rub his belly and back legs, and he doesn't have other signs of ataxia like uncoordinated eyes or head titling. Can the wobbly walking be caused by him not eating enough?
