Ladybug update: Well, we got her into a neurologist yesterday. She did not like the 2 hour drive! An MRI ($3500, holy moly!) told us that she has a herniated disc impinging upon her spinal cord plus 3 more discs with degenerative disease. (How can a kitty this young have that much disc disease?)We simply do not have an additional $4-5K for surgery so the vet suggested we give her until early next week to see if she improves because, apparently, cats can sometimes recover naturally from this. This is so very frustrating and painful.
