The in-office bloodwork would show if her glucose was above normal. If you have
a copy of it, it should be between 80-150. I'm sure though if it was above
this, your vet should have told you. If it were my kitty, I would repeat the
bloodwork, lots can change in 2 mos.
I hope you get some answers and that it's treatable - whatever it may be. I
truly hope she clears the FeLV as well!!
Many good wishes your way!

She's not really walking on her "hocks" like they say diabetics do. I
haven't noticed a lot of drinking either. But I'll definitely have that
checked out just in case. The bloodword that was done wasn't sent out to the
lab. It was just the real basic stuff like in the vet's office so I don't know
if that would show diabetes or not.

unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me
sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain

Get her to the vet ASAP, it could be diabetes....I treated my cat for it for
over 8 yrs.

I have a FeLV kitten that I'm fostering. She's six or seven months old.
She's the one I emailed about a couple months ago with uveitis. The uveitis
never has completely cleared up. But now I'm not sure what's going on. Her
back legs are kind of wobbly. It's not bad enough that my husband has noticed
yet, but I can see it. It's like she's slightly drunk. She's walking okay
with the front legs but her back legs give way a little or something when she's
walking. She's eating and going to the bathroom. She doesn't run around and
play as much as the other cats do, but never really has. She's just a real
mellow and loving kitten and I just thought that must be why she's not as
playful. I'm not sure though. She's not growing a lot too. The other kitten
her age, not related, has grown much faster than she has.
So any ideas? Why do you guys think she's started getting wobbly in the
back legs. She can still jump on things but not as sure-footed as the others.
I don't know if her muscles are getting weak or if she's anemic or what. A
couple months ago her bloodwork at the vet's office was okay. I assume this is
FeLV related but before I go to the vet I'd like to be prepared and have some
ideas of what's going on.
