Found him an his brother about 3.5 weeks ago in a box outside of a store. Originally named him Enoki but I don’t think it really suits him so we haven’t been calling him that. Lol. He’s such a chichi boy. Loves attention, he’s very curious and suuuuper sweet. 🤍
Hello vets,
Is this a neurological thing?
I have 2 kittens that we found 3 weeks ago today. They’re approximately 6ish weeks old. When we found them, they had URIs. They cleared up after some antibiotics and eye ointment.
The white one we noticed is a little wobbly so we were maybe wondering if he wad wobbly cat syndrome. He’s pretty subtle unless he’s on the move.
For the past maybe week? The black one has been sneezing. I researched a bit and read that cats can have allergies so we’ve just been keeping an eye on him. He doesn’t have a runny nose or dischargey eyes. Only when he sneezes, one of his eyes waters a bit but nothing like when we first got them. The sneezing hasn’t necessarily gotten worse but… now we’re noticing that he’s wobbly now too.
He seems to be losing his balance completely and his little body just throw’s itself back. Sometimes it looks like he gets stuck/stiff for like half a second before he’s up and trying to play again. Not convulsing or anything like that.
Earlier when he sneezed, he fell backwards too. He’s been doing that today. He seems super uncoordinated and I’m getting really worried.
He’s eating a kitten and pate and kibble mix, drinks water, had diarrhea on Sunday but is pooping fine today (one bowel movement this morning). They sleep separately but in the same space. (The white one is a suckler so we don’t let them sleep together over night) but they have a grid separator so they can still see each other. He’s still wanting to play with his brother but we did notice his meow is sounding a little raspy. And he’s a little fussy when we handle him. He’s usually the more chill one of the two.
Since they’ve been found, they have not been outside, our dogs don’t have physical access to them. (They’re in opposite sides of the apartment) and we take our shoes off when we step into their play area. We don’t use air fresheners or candles, incense or anything that’s super fragrant. We wash their dishes between every feeding, and have not done anything different with him.
