I'm a junior doctor, but not a vet so all I can do is guess when it comes to diagnosing our cat!
He's old (17) but in good health, still pretty active etc. He was at the vet recently who did a whole host of blood tests to check his kidney function etc and reckoned he had a good few years left in him. He does seem to have feline dementia though.......
Anyway, he has this weird kind of twitch sometimes, in his head and one of his front paws, and he sometimes seems to "freeze" in one position for 20 seconds or so, then he just gets on with whatever he was doing.
In my opinion, he has symptoms kind of suggestive of Parkinson's disease, but I don't know whether cats can get that. If so, is there any treatments for it?
