Neurological Problems in kitten after eating
In November 3 kittens came to our shelter, estimated 8-10 weeks, healthy looking and acting. Shortly after one of them started to show neurological symptoms – weak hindlegs, wobbly walking, uncoordinated behavior – but was alert, cuddly and tried to play. It lasted for ca 1 hour and then he was back to normal. We saw this happening 2-3 times a day and linked it to him eating. Of course he has seen a vet several times by now – but we haven’t found anything wrong so far.
– is fed grain and sugarfree food, various brands
– several bloodworks (around 10 by now) – our own lab and external lab – 2 came back with elevated leukocytes, everthing else normal, at one point the external vet was worried for leucemia.
– x-ray and ultrasound – normal
– urin test for liver shunt (negative)
– ct scan of the head (brain) and abdomen (liver) – normal
– bloodwork for medasthenia gravis – negative
– bloodwork for FIP – negative
– fecal sample – showed giardia at one point, were treated succesfully
– is by nowneutered, dewormed and vaccinated – everything went good with these.
He is otherwise acting normal, active and playful. Has anyone experienced something similar and found the cause? Any more ideas what we could look for?
