Hi all, I’m wondering if my cat maybe had a stroke? I will share his symptoms and see if anyone is familiar with strokes in cats that could shed some light.
So my kitty has been treated for small cell intestinal lymphoma for a year with prednisolone and chlorambucil. Recently his appetite started to decline again and ultrasound showed some thickening again and few lymph nodes, so we started transdermal mirataz (2 days worth) and then stopped because he became very agitated at first and then was like trembling and felt warm?
Two days later, he woke up hungry but then briefly stumbled to his side when walking and got up only to start head pressing. At the vet he was slightly anemic and had slightly low potassium and was treated for both, and given pain meds and antibiotics. He’s been doing the head pressing on and off the past few days since and also stumbling still, not meowing at all, and still not eating much. Not really himself and very lethargic when not pacing.
Just curious if this is due to the mirataz, his cancer, or a stroke? If anyone can provide some info that would be great!
I’m also wondering if anyone’s kitty has has a stroke, do you remember what treatment your kitty was given after the stroke? Thanks so much!
