My cat's hind legs are weak and he can't walk. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 2.7 lbs

My cat's hind legs are getting weaker than his body, he wasn't able to walk properly on his hind legs so I took him to vet and he said its because of weakness and low blood level... He suggested drip to overcome weakness but he's not well recovered by that too, he didn't loose his appetite bit his legs are getting weaker than his body..what should I do?

I’m thinking that Mellow may be anemic, or have a low red blood cell count. If this is the case then it could take awhile to improve depending on the cause. It’s also possible that there is a neurologic problem. I would recommend rechecking with your vet to see if there is more testing that they might recommend.
