My family cat of 15 years old suddenly had trouble moving his hind legs and walking. My dad took him to the vet and they thought it was a form of athrosis and they gave him a Meloxidolor injection and meloxidolor pills (some anti-inflammatory drug). After a few days his symptoms seemed to clear up.
But after stopping the medication his symptoms reappeared. The same treatment didn't seem to have a big effect and he then also got trouble urinating and going number two.
I personally did some googling and thought it might be thrombosis since his tail was also very cold. This would mean that he has some type of heart disease that could be causing this to happen.
It was almost at the point that it seemed like we were forced to end his life. But now the vet gave him a corticosteroid injection and some pills that seem to have him slowly recovering again.
I'm afraid that when the medication stops that the same thing will happen all over again. And I'm wondering what the best course of action is. Does anyone have any ideas?
