Hello there,
My kitty is Persian, she is 13 yrs old (approximately, since I found her in the street when she was around 7-9months according to the vet)
Recent years were really hard for us with chronic pancreatitis/food allergies and dental problems. Half a year ago she still had a problem with drooling, so I took her to vets, dentists everyone was saying that I am making it all up and the cat is fine. Still I wanted to make an MRI cs her gums were itchy, she had drooling and I could see that she looked unhappy. It turned out she had some inflammation in her nose but more importantly as an accidental finding- a cyst in the lateral ventricle of her brain ( the diameter was 1.1 cm if I remember correctly). We were advised to repeat MRI after 6 months. But I find it useless since there is still no real treatment other than symptomatic (anti convulsants) if she develops tremor. And I do not want her to undergo unnecessary anesthesia.
Could someone please tell me if they had the similar problem with their brachycephalic cats? I can not find any relevant info on the internet. Now she looks sick to me. I notice that she does not put her head on the floor when sleeping rather she keeps it in the air.
I love her more than life and really want to know more about this health issue and to talk to someone about it
Thank you in advance
