i was wondering if cerebral palsy might be my cats problem?
April 30, 2011 in Questions
my cat came to me very ill with pneumonia. i have had him about three months, he did a lot of throwing up but that is resolving itself. he would aspirate and end up with pneumonia on a regular basis. i also now notice that his front legs at the wrist stay bent at a wierd angle even when he sleeps. we can straighten them out but they will not stay relaxed. the vet thought he had a esophageal disorder such as a spastic esophagus causing the throwing up and would grow out of it as he ages, but we now think maybe cp, due to the leg problems. he also has had a hard time growing and is now 5 months old and is up to 2.5 pounds. still under weight but a big accomplishment considering at 3 mo he weighed 1pound soaking wet. if any one else has this prob or has info to offer please let me know. oh yeah he also snores and wheezes occasionally and that just seems to come and go . thank you everyone. sincerly mondoman102
