Guest guest Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for working with a cat with peripheral neuropathy? An owner of a 12 year old cat with " dropped hocks " and progressive hind limb weakness called me today after being referred by one of my clients. I spoke with her rDVM who ran bloodwork which was normal (so no metabolic cause) and apparently she has had progressive weight loss and a decreased appetite as well (I'm a little worried about the big C...cancer, but he hasn't found any definitive evidence of that yet). The owner has limited funds and I've only just started working on dogs and never a cat so I wanted to see if anyone out there has had any success with these before I have her come in for a full exam/consultation. Can you treat them like a dog with DM? There is a vet in the area that does acupuncture as well so that could be an option, but I don't know if she can afford both. Thanks Krellner DVM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
