Well wishes please.

In a thread farther down this forum there are pictures of my cats. Well, for the past week and a half Leeloo (now renamed 'Marz') has been having issues.
It started with him sleeping almost all the time and not wanting to play with the other kittens or me, this is not his style.
A few days after this started he seemed to have a dizzy spell while waking up, not being able to turn himself upright for a moment. During this time his appearance had been going downhill, he'd not been bathing himself and though he's always been a slight built cat he was skinnier then ever before.
I got him into the vet and they sent him home later that day with some Doxypotion and Science Diet A/D though no answer for me.
That was on Wednesday and since then he's not sleeping as much but the rest of him seems to be going downhill. He's still not bathing himself. He does eat, drink and 'go' but that's about it. Just a few moments ago I called my husband out to the kitchen because it was as if Marz couldn't keep his balance, he was almost not using his rear legs and his head was cocked to the left, he's done this once before during this ordeal HOWEVER both times were when he was stressed.

Tomorrow is Sunday and trying to find a vet will be difficult but I'll give it a go, if not then he's going in first thing Monday.
Sometimes it seems like a neurelogical problem and sometimes it doesn't. He does have a congested sound and his eyes are watery, his urine looks normal as does his feces though I'm taking in a sample with me, any internal parasites that could cause these?

So, while I try to find a vet for tomorrow does anyone have any suggestions?

Love him. Give him lots of cuddles and wait for the vet's assistance. (((hugs)))

Yes, that's what we're doing. The other two kittens are fine and have been fine which leads me to believe that whatever is wrong with Marz is Marz himself.
I have googled and googled and googled symptoms but haven't found anything that matches.

The beginning of last month both he and Cooper were treated for RIs and both recovered just fine and acted normal, that is the only health issues I've had with him.

Awwww, poooor boy!!


LOTS of hugs and smooochies to help him (and YOU) feel better! :hug: :hug: :grouphug:

Sounds like he may have had a stroke. :(

Good luck in finding an answer. Prayers and warm snuggle thoughts being sent your way!!!

Well, called and left messeges and no dice so I'll be knocking on my vets door before they open tomorrow.
To give a bit more information on him he's going to be four months old on December 9th, he's a ragdoll male, currently not neutered (was/is going to be the first week of December if he's well enough and still with us).

He sleeps in the bedroom with Ryan and I at night because the other two kittens are too spastic for him right now. Last night for the first time he came over to my side of the bed and meowed to be let out to use the litter box and to eat. Previously he'd just lay in his chair until we got up and took him out with us. He did this 'meow out' twice this morning and then came back into the bedroom with me. It's as normal as he's acted in days but I doubt it's any reason to rejoice.
Thanks for the kind thoughts and words, just thought I'd update ya'll

Best wishes to you........ :( Keep us posted?

I am sorry about that; poor little guy. Is there any chance he got into a toxic substance or something? I think that that would explain the disorientation.. when you have a pet though and you know how they are, you can definately tell when something is "off." Hopefully the vet appointment goes OK tmrw.

Oh the poor little thing. I know it's even more frustrating not knowing what's wrong with him. I sure hope you are able to pull him through. I've got my fingers crossed for ya. :hug:

Nope, nothing he could have gotten into unless he ate litter from the litter box... Besides he's not a 'mouthy' kitten. He's always been... picky on what goes in his mouth.

Here are some pictures from today. If you compair to the ones in the thread down below you can see how bad he looks though it's much different in person.
