  1. Thank you, all. The vet is confirming FCE and his prognosis is guarded depending on how he responds to treatment. I will do a search for anyone else's experience with this.
  2. Thank you. We are now looking at Fibrocartilaginous Embolism as a possibility, which I have never heard of but would make total sense given the symptoms. More to come.
  3. I stand corrected. After consulting with a couple of vets and those, like you, in the know, it does sound like a stroke- not something we have experienced previously. He is on his way to the vet now, not weight bearing at all. I have read others experiences here and am not without hope, but still cannot wrap my head around how they come back from this.
  4. I wondered about this too but he’s not showing any of the neuro signs you’d expect. My husband will be up with him most of the night, that’s his bestie, and will take him in if that changes.
  5. Mickey is our sweet boy, turning 7 this year. Tonight I recall watching him earlier and thinking his walk was a little off, maybe a little hitchy. We went out for a bit tonight and when we came home, he fell on his way to greet us and wasn’t able to get himself up. He was not 100% weight bearing on his rear right leg. While walking to his bed, his back legs were crossing. Once on his bed, while trying to circle, all of a sudden his left front paw was knuckling and dragging and not righting itself. This is out of nowhere and we are so concerned. We will be calling the vet first thing tomorrow. I did a quick search as it didn’t seem to match LS, what our last grey had and found DM- which I’m not sure about either since he went from being fine this morning to being affected in both front and back 😢
