Weakness of the leg and what the cause He is not infrequent that the cats with diabetes experience the back weakness of the leg. Although the weakness of the leg can happen in dogs, is much less common that for the cats. In technical terms the weakness of the leg often is called peripheral neuropatÃa. The means the peripheral one in the extremities of the body, and the neuropatÃa means that the nerves that control muscles of the leg have been damaged or they do not work correctly. The weakness can also be due to a loss of mass of the muscle that the results of the uncontrolled diabetes. Generally, a definitive diagnosis of the damage of the nerve does not become. Something, the owner note that the back legs are weak and the cat has diminished mobility, or the cat can walk in his hocks. The cat can awhile have hard jumping in the furniture and in more serious cases, the cat can have to walk hard of the time. There are several theories on the exact mechanism of this condition, but total, the weakness of the leg is due to the long period of the uncontrolled diabetes and the high glucose of the blood. Treatment To control the diabetes of its domestic animal is the best way to improve total force of the health and the leg. This is a slow process and can take several months, because the muscles of the leg need hour to reconstruct their size and forces. The moderate game and the exercise (walking, stretching) also can help to improve the force of the leg of their cat. The supplements are used sometimes to try to help the cat to recover more quickly. The supplements and the L-l-carnitine of potassium are often discussed. Methylcobalamin is a form of the B-12 vitamin that several owners of the cat have used and disclosed to see the fast improvement in the legs of their domestic animal. This one is a form of the B-12 vitamin that according to inquires the aids in regeneration into the nerve. One occurs oral in form of the pill in a dose of 3 milligrams per day. Observe that this one is a diverse form of called the B-12 vitamin cyanocobalamin. More information can be found in the site of the jasper. Before giving any supplement to your domestic animal, you MUST verify with your veterinarian. Without the veterinary approval and the supervision, some supplements can be very dangerous to the health of their domestic animal. Personal Experiences Barney Before the barney was diagnosed, we noticed that it had stairs that rose awhile of hard and which it jumped on the sofa. Since the barney was 14 years as an older person and we had cold time, I thought that its poor mobility era due to the age, to arthritis, or the cold time. It is it was back weakness of the leg due to the diabetes. After the diabetes of the barney was better controlled, we noticed that it had much more easy obtaining awhile around. Its improvement was very gradual, but after near 3 months, it was again to his activities generally. We did not use any type of dietetic supplements. We animated to him to that it exercised. We played with the sequence or the pens in the floor, and animated to follow to him around to us whereas we walked in the yard. He can now jump in the furniture and on our laps without no problems! He has even begun to raise trees again! - Donna and barney. Spider Shortly after spider, an old cat of 18 years, was
diagnosed with diabetes that he began to experience the extreme
weakness in his back legs. He could obtain not more of length
inside and outside bed. We had to cut its box of the bunk under
way that he could obtain inside and towards outside. And the
worse one of all, by late, when it was tired, he would have to crawl
in its belly down del lobby to obtain to its food. About 18, I
thought that it was the end of the way. But 6 months it advanced
more, the spider works and jumps again! Most of the credit for
his improvement it must go to the spider. But we made some
things to help advanced him. We did not use any supplements.
In place we were centered in some exercises. We began with
the easy exercises, then progressed most difficult. We spent
weeks in an exercise sometimes. We began with the cosquilleo of
its back feet. He HATED this, but he was able it to move the
feet. Later, "the long walk of the baby". I maintained it
around its chest under its front legs and I hardly animated to that it
took some measures, using its back legs to him. Once it
recovered something of his force, we ignited "the stairs". It
would take it to swallow a flight of stairs and to leave it there.
This was resistant in me! In the beginning, he finishes
watching the cover to me of the stairs and meow pathetically. He
broke my heart! But it raised possible! He now makes two
flights of stairs without no problems. Finally, we progressed
"to the long walk". We took the spider towards outside for his
"we cleared" now once to the day. We go outside, we walked under
the stairs of the cover, and in a good day we walked all the way
around the house and raised the stairs again. The spider has
made a recovery complete of its previous weakness. I think that
the important thing in the recovery is to maintain the cat active
whereas it works in obtaining bgs down. If the spider can do
this in age 18, I think that there is hope of each one. -
