I have another thread going about Peace but I need some help here. I've been searching the internet and trying to figure out what might be wrong with him.
It started about 2 weeks ago. We had an addition built onto our house and moved in. We took Peace with us and some of the other cats, too. A few days after we moved in Peace started licking the metal on our cook stove. I thought nothing of it as we use a wood stove for heat, it was hot, the cook stove is cold...etc. A day or 2 after that I found him licking the wood stove then the hardwood floor then the cook stove then the door sweep and so on and so on.
He started having his bowel movements out of the box but still urinated in the box. His bm's turned watery and green and just smelled bad. Took a sample to the vet and got it tested for worms and it came back clean. The vet asked me to bring Peace in and I did as he started sneezing, too. The vet put him on spec/stat/amoxi for 7 days. Peace took his meds like a pro but then after day 3 Peace started to wobble a lot. He would fall off the couch and land on his side then he would fall off the table trying to get to the food. (He ate this whole time without issue) Come day 8 when he was done is meds, he could hardly just stand. You had to support him until he, basically, got his legs under himself to walk or just sit. His head tilted to either side more times then not then on Saturday night (the 23rd) he had what I thought was a seizure. All 4 of his limbs wen rigid, his pupils dialted all the way out, he was unresponsive but it passed almost as fast as it started so I wasn't sure. Come Sunday these episodes became more frequent and he stopped eating.
Took Peace to the vet on Monday and was told it must be neurological or something, can we keep him. So started Day1 of Peace at the vets. Day2 I got a phone call that Peace is no better/no worse let's give him another day. Day3 (today) I got a call that says Peace is no better/worse but now he's not eating. He's still falling over and having the attacks and, well, he can't have a good life if all he does is fall over. I asked if I could see Peace tomorrow and they said sure. One vet *thinks* with everything Peace was licking on it became toxic and he now has brain damage but, again, not sure.
Any help or ideas as to what could be going on with Peace would help me immensley. I am in the dark as to what is wrong here. Peace is 8 months old, white with blue eyes, deaf, up on shots, never been outside.
Thank you.
