So, we have a kitten about 4 to 5 months. We noticed that for the past couple of weeks, his stomach grows bigger and bigger. Now, his rear legs and tail are paralyzed. So, he walks with his two front legs and drags his rear legs. Also, he would always eat whenever we give him food. However, we noticed that he haven’t urinated or discharged. We would put him inside a box, so he could sleep. As he tries to sleep, his hands would shake every now and then. We also noticed that his heart beats fast sometimes, even when he’s sleepin’. And, he doesn’t have any voice when he speaks. I don’t know if it’s odd that he kneads and purrs, especially with his condition. So, today’s his 3rd day and nothing have changed. I tried lookin’ for any reasons behind his condition or what it’s called, but I couldn’t find any. We couldn’t bring him to the vet, especially because of the weather right now here. And, my Dad thinks it’s expensive and it would cost a lot of money if we bring him to the vet.

    Hello Alya

    This cat needs a Vet URGENTLY right now!!! hes in critical condition and you cannot leave him suffering like this.

    His stomach is probably full of urine if he hasn’t urinated….leave him much longer and his bladder will burst.

    Take him to a Vet now…emergency.I’m sorry but you should not have pets if you are not prepared to give them the correct care. Its cruel to leave your cat in pain. VET NOW.

    Alright, thank you so much.

  3. Aleia Samonte

    Well, his stomach becomes a bit smaller now. And, he had urinated and defecated yesterday. Also, we saw his legs moved one time.

  4. julie brader

    And you still haven’t taken him to the Vet?? Whether hes urinated or not this kitten is in pain! Hes paralysed!! How long are you going to leave him suffering? I’m sorry but when you get a pet it’s your responsibility to mske sure its in good health and has medical care when needed. Please! Take this cat to the Vet!!!!

How Do I Stop My Cat Peeing And Pooping Outside The Box?! I Have Tried…

    are you absolutely sure this isn’t a medical issue?  when was his last checkup at the vet?

  2. Glynis Sakowicz

    In my experience, that usually means one of two things. I have a very ‘neat’ cat. If the litter isn’t totally clean, he would register his complaint by pooping just in front of the box as if to say, “I refuse to use an unclean box!”

    I have also seen cats who are in multiple cat, or cat and dog homes to feel ‘trapped’ in their box and very nervous about using it. In that situation, I moved the box to a more open area, and made sure the cat had an area where the dogs couldn’t reach him. Once he had an area all his own, and he felt safe using the box, the problem disappeared, but as you know, each cat has their own temperament, and their own personality, so your cat could simply be driving you nuts because it wants to!

    Cats however, are very clean animals, and once given a ‘better choice,’ will often take that choice, good luck!

    He was at the vet not more than a month ago, we had him desexed at that time and he had a full check up! He’s been doing it since before the vet as well. Asking the vet, they only suggested the things we’ve tried. Moving the boxes, Urine off, different litters, different placement :C he doesnt like minty smells or lavender so we put that scent on the places he likes to go.

    No UTI’s or any unusual stresses for him…

    Hes such a lovely cat otherwise, very loving and playful

  4. Sonya Payr

    Thanks for all the help guys!

    Ill keep trying :c I hope its nothing serious. We’ve scheduled another vet appointment and Ill try changing his diet! I just assumed the food was good because he loved it!

    Ill let everyone know how it goes 🙂

Today She Was Running Through Bush Chasing Squirrels
when We Called Her She Came Running Towards…

today she was running through bush chasing squirrels
when we called her she came running towards us “lop-sided”; looked as if hind left leg wasn’t working
it was not any kind of limp I’ve seen before; the leg didn’t look being favored but looked not working, not providing the right support properly
Cookie sat down while we were going to try to see what’s going on
meanwhile she heard another squirrel and dashed off back into the bush again
looked like the leg wasn’t quite right but she didn’t seem to care
we then fetched and leashed her and after short time everything seemed fine until the time of this writing 4:19PM
often problems resurface after some rest so I’m concerned what she’s going to look like after longer rest; so far she seems perfectly normal again, though

Seeing a vet tomorrow but hoping for some comforting thoughts on what the heck it could have been … ?

    She seems perfectly normal and herself now. Moving and acting normally, looking normal and happy. Lasted just a few minutes. Didn’t seem upset about it this time, just came up close and sat down. I was way more upset about it that she was.

Hello, I Have A Year Old Large Puppy And He Has Developed A Limp From…

Hello, I have a year old large puppy and he has developed a limp from one of his back legs. I have read everything online about different causes and I have done a thorough examination of his leg. There seems to be nothing out of place, no swelling and he continues to run and play (he sure doesn’t seem depressed) and he doesn’t show any signs of pain at all….what could be the problem? The only thing I can even relate to what’s happening is that it might be pano, but I want to confirm before we change his diet. There is also no sort of thorns, cracks, or cuts except a small cut in between the left side of his toes and it’s not worth taking him to the vet for a small cut about 3 cm.

    Hi Brittany,

    Pets, just like people, have different tolerance levels for pain.  The fact that he is limping indicates something is definitely not right.  How long has the limping been going on?  It is sometimes difficult to know if something is a small or a large problem without going to the vet.  Finding an answer is definitely worth it :).   I hope he gets better as I can tell you care about him very much!

    He’s only been limping for about 3 days, it seems like the limping has gotten a little better since the first day. He has broken his front toe before and was showing a lot of symptoms of pain (of course we took care of it) but that’s what I’ve been basing his pain tolerance on remembering how bad he was hurting before and he’s pretty much normal except for the limp.

  3. Brittany Mullens

    UPDATE: took him to the vet today, for the past couple days before our appointment we’ve had him on bed rest and that helped alot. The limping got less severe and it seemed like he could put more weight down on that leg. The vet had said it could be a partailly torn ligament in his knee from the exam. X-rays at the beginning of next month and he’s currently on some doggy pain killers and inflammation drugs and two weeks bed rest! But he’s walking on it even better with the drugs even after one dose.

I Try To Feel Around Her Stomach And Paws But When I Do, She Doesn’t…

I try to feel around her stomach and paws but when I do, she doesn’t cry which makes me think she’s not in pain. But whenever she tries to stand, she’s clearly in pain.

    Hello,
    It’s hard to say what could be going on…Is your dog spayed? Has she eaten anything abnormal? Is she eating/ drinking/peeing/pooping….
    It sounds like a vet trip is in need, crying and acting painful is a cause for concern that you should get her seen by a vet.
    Good luck!
