As some Manx cats and other breed feline age that sometime develop mobility issues. For example, some cats develop conditions related to arthritis such as degenerative joint disease (DJD), and even something known as Schiff-Sherrington syndrome. If your Manx is having trouble moving around, contact your vet. Just because your Manx is having mobility trouble it does not mean she is suffering from a disease like Schiff-Sherrington. Your vet will need to examine your cat to determine the exact cause of immobility. Schiff-Sherrington typically occurs when the cat’s spinal cord is severed or cut across by a small lesion on the lower back. The lesion can occur due to trauma to the spine or even intervertebral disk disease, which is more common. Symptoms may include an unusual gait, inability to walk, inability to stand, rigidly extended forelimbs, and possible paralysis of the hind limbs. Talk with your animal hospital Aurora, CO to learn more.
