Hello. First-timer here.
The vet said my cat's illness is neurological. Could be a stroke. They can't help. Second opinion, w/o knowing what the 1st vet said, agreed. He had some minor seizures, has spatial problems, perception is off. Normal hearing, jumps at sounds. Stopped meowing almost completely (he used to be a gabby-guts).
Emo is a 9 1/2 yr old Ragdoll, male, altered, declawed (got him that way). He stopped eating & drinking, stopped grooming and purring. I started experimenting with different foods and got him eating a little, but still no drinking water. I add water to the food and he has 2 - 3 low volume urinations daily, had 1 BM a day until yesterday.
I'm frantic. I don't know what to do. All they want to do is put him down. I can't go through that again. Any thoughts?
