Hi again - both kitties neutured at the same time, but before this, my little Ollie just generally appeared less developed than his sister and I noticed that his tummy appeared a little swollen. His eyes were constantly congested - all I know are not particularly good signs. One other problem I noticed is that he had started to become, very, very slightly wobbly on his legs, but the real symptoms kicked in after neutering, which I now realise was a very unwise decision. In fairness I had previously spoken to the breeder about one or two concerns and they were willing to take him back but by this time, we were totally in love with him. One thing I hadn't remembered until beginning to type this response, is that he had also developed a heart murmer - breeder insistent this hadn't been present previously. I have since carried out a great deal of research and unfortunately I should not have had him neutured and if he had been my only cat, wouldn't have done so. As we had pet insurance our little boy underwent various tests and a very extensive report from the specialist centre confirming the diagnosis and it was a case of palliative care until we had to have him pts at seven months of age - very sad day, but a blessing as eventually he totally lost the use of his hind limbs - we affectionately referred to him as Little O.
