Neuropathy In Cats
January 30, 2010 8:49 am 153Another sign will be the development of neuropathy. This is a side effect of diabetes in cats which will be noticeable in how he walks. Rather than walking on his back paws, he will use his haunches. This will distort his posture giving him a hunchback. He will not be able to jump onto a bed or couch that would normally not be a problem to reach.Basically, neuropathy Diabetes is the interruption of signals being sent from the brain to complete movement. The cat will begin his leap onto the couch. But the signal will not reach the muscles and they will not complete the movement. The cat cannot finish his jump and will fall or slide down the couch, usually quite confused over it all. This is horrible to watch. Call a vet immediately.
