Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | No, this is not a normal part of aging and you need to get this kiddo to a vet ASAP. Do you know where to take him? How is he this morning?

| This sounds like it could be a spinal injury - at least the rear end lameness part. Time is of the essence! Minutes matter in this situation. Please get this baby to a vet this morning!! Good luck

YT Addict | This worries me because it seems like the same symptoms Tinky has before we knew she had insulinoma. She has not had a seizure, but lost the ability to use her back legs. However, seizures are very common with insulinoma - which creates very low blood sugar. Any update? |
