Ask your vet about treatment and other illnesses that could relate to your British Shorthair or other breed feline’s recent diagnosis of feline diabetes. Some cats with diabetes are prone to visible nerve problems. An example would be cats that start walking on their hocks. The hocks are located on the back of the cat’s legs. A cat will typically walk on his “toes.” However, cats that have not undergone treatment for diabetes often develop a condition called diabetic neuropathy which can cause nerve damage to cats. This is when the cat will go from walking on his toes to walking on his hocks, which gives him the appearance of walking flat-footed. Although this can be severe, there is treatment available which can reverse the condition. It takes time, but most cats recover and begin walking normally. If you suspect your cat is suffering from this condition, contact your pet clinic Webster, NY right away to schedule a check-up.
