How long for an elderly cat to recover mobility after a seizure?

Question

Hi, we have an elderly cat, whom had a seizure two months ago and recovered back to 'normal after one day' , he had another seizure 3 days ago and although he is awake and eating when we spoon feed him (and rehydration solution from a pippette) he has lost use of his body, he was totally stiff but now is using 2 limbs. We think he may have Todds pareses, but wonder how long it takes for an older cat to recover. He is purring at times and doesn't appear to be in pain, just that his body is stiff. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 20 years and 9 months old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jack. As you probably ready have experienced, neurologic disease is unpredictable in pets. There is no way to know if or when he will regain control of his body. However, he needs to see a veterinarian. He needs a thorough examination to assess to extend of his neurological problems. He needs to be able to breathe normally, eat and drink and go to the bathroom. Cats can have blood clots that can affect one limb. He needs to be checked for adequate circulation. There may be medications that can help him feel better. I hope this information helps!
