My cat cant go to the bathroom

18 15:58:08

Question
i was given a small cat from the pet store back in november. at the time the store believed she had some back leg problems so no one wanted her. i took her in and found out that she was unable to go to the bathroom. i have taken her to the vet and she has been diagnosed with "no nervous system in her lower half" she can walk, all be it a little funny, not wonderfull at jumping. eats fine, but i have to squeeze her bladder and squeeze out her poo every morning and night. I live out in Taiwan, i don't mind doing thisfor her, but i am worried i will end up hurting her. i just wondered if there was anything you have heard of that could help her.

Answer
You can hurt her over time- if you squeeze to hard. What I would do is get a second opinion on your cats case and or see a veterinary neurologist.

There are possible things you can do for her, but I would speak to another vet for additional information.

Good Luck!
