hi again,
One question for the weak back legs?
How long does it usually takes to make the cat use his/ her back legs again?
2- 3 days, week, 10 days?
thanks in advance

I was feeding him with the baby food so far (2 little jars a day). That was all he accepts- there is pottasium inside.
I give him some chease and cream chease sometimes. Today, i got the science diet. I read a lot of positive comments in that forum.
Actually, there is a ray of light today. he is little bit better than yesterday and was able to get to his litter box.
I know the food is very important now. He is still not getting a can of food. How does the syringe feeding works? Do i need a medical prescription?
The vet is really very pesimistic, she is a kind of beginner, very anxious.
Thanks for the moral support.
I will keep fighting. You are right that he is a young cat. Who knows???
