The vets have mentioned this. I think it's hyperesthesia or something like
that. I had forgotten about this. Thank-you .

I have read somewhere that there is a neurological disease that cats can
develop that makes them really wacky when they are touched, but I have no idea
where I saw it or read it. Is it called synthese;/"

Isabella has been to the specialist. Her temperature was normal and
weight the best ever. She has continued to have tremors. She also has a very
fast rate of breathing (70-80 BPM). A spine xray revealed nothing amiss. An
ultrasound revealed a very enlarged spleen (suspects: lymphoma or red blood
cell production). We got the asparate biopsy results and she does not have
lymphoma. She is on tramadal, clavamox and prednisone (we switched back from
prednisalone because she was frothing). We are going to decrease the pred in
case it is the cause of her tremors and or fast breathing (it CAN cause this in
dogs). She seems happy except for the tremors. They almost resemble a seizure.
If the pred decrease does not stop them, we will try an anti-seizure med. Vet
has no idea why she cries out when we touch her or pick her up.
More as we learn more.
