Falling over..


Wondered if anyone had any experience of this...it has happened twice since last night. Lucky my 18 year old cat for no apparant reason just fell over. On the first occasion, she gave a little shake and apparantly lost her balance and ended up on her side but this morning she was just standing at her food dish and it's as if her legs just gave way she managed to scramble up before she totally fell to the ground..

This cat is my soulmate...so one very worried owner here

Re: Falling over..


ok PK i don't mean to worry you but one of my closest friends lost one of their elderly cats 'Malibu' she was 19, recentlly she was PTS through a brain tumour and dimenschia (sp) related illness, and she had the above symptoms falling over, loosing balance and so on it got so bad in the end she wouldn't even realise she had fallen, for example off the back of the chair.
i pray Lucky has not got the same, and that she could just be having an 'off' period, i truly do
best wishes

Oh, that is so sad Luke I was hoping that it would be something less serious but now I am worried. Did your friend's cats have any other symptoms?
