Our 15 year old Cornish Rex, Nougat, has been very under the weather for a few days. She keeps losing her balance, mainly in her back legs. This is an update for folks on Twitter who have been so supportive and asking about her.<\/p>\n

She does not quite remember that she has the problem, so we are constantly with her in case she tries to jump up to the places that she can usually reach easily. Or goes headfirst into her food bowl. Stewart even saw her fall straight to the ground twice as she sat dozing in the sun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She has had ear infections for the last 8 months, but also increasing problems coordinating her back legs. She goes in for a general anesthetic in two days to take x-rays and generally poke about to see whether it is an ear problem or something more sinister like a brain tumour.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we are cuddling her all that we can, and annoying the heck out of her by following her about as she tries to walk. We think it is better that she keeps moving, even if we have to catch her, than if we carry her everywhere. She had a shot of antibiotic and another of prednisolone last night at the vet. We are giving her further antibiotics as pills and a syrup of prednisolone each day – not fun when she is wobbly and trying to escape. We have to hold her very tight.<\/p>\n

You can see pictures of her as a kitten playing in Christmas decorations plus the story so far in\u00a0 A post about my cat<\/a> , which I did by request last #blogjune.<\/p>\n

Hopefully within a few weeks she will be back to leaping unexpectedly for my icecream. Hopefully.<\/p>\n
