Why does my cat flick his paw

The treatment method used by your veterinarian will be determined by their diagnosis of the underlying cause of the trembling. These treatments can vary widely depending on the condition causing the trembling and may include surgery, medications, or other methods. If no cause is determined, medication may be prescribed to aid in a reduction of the trembling. Some of the common treatments used for muscle trembling include:

Muscle Relaxants

Drugs in this category are designed to relax muscles, which may help reduce or eliminate the tremors. This treatment must be properly dosed for your pet’s size and physical condition to reduce the risk of side effects. 

Supplementation 

If a deficiency or imbalance is the cause of the trembling, your veterinarian may recommend supplementation to restore the cat’s nutrient balance. 

Anti-Depressants or Anti-Anxiety Medications

If the cause is determined to be psychosomatic, medications designed to improve mental state may be recommended. Proper dosing is needed with this type of treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.

Has Symptoms

I am writing from Hungary, Europe. My cat had a ghiandola odorifera abscess 3 month ago. After the cleaing, when we took off her collar, she started to lick and scratch herself so much and wildly and her body strated to tremble sometimes. We took the collar back. Her right front leg were like collapsing. Later the left did the same as well. She got steroid but it didnt help at the first time. At the secong time it helped a little bit. We went to the vetenerians but nobody knew what the problem was. There was a blood test wich showed there can be an inflammation in the body. Ona of her liver test wasnt good. The ALT(GPT) was high, GGT and kreatinin was okay. They said it could be immunsystem problem, allergy. She has been having twitches, tremors for 3 months. Last week was so good, she didnt have any symptomes for a week (she took homeopatic medication) but later everything came back. She is taking the homeopatic medication again but it doesnt help. The cat has Involuntary muscle tremblings, more and more and bigger and bigger and she is licking herself a lot. I can see she doesnt feel good. She looks so desparate. She eats well, we just started 2 weeks ago the BARF step by step, to help for the bowelsystem. ut what I see she is getting worse. There are times when she is sleeping, she doesnt move for w while. When she is up, she goes crazy. Actually this week after the homeopatic doctor she had the worse time: doing all the things I wrote down, having a huge sensitivity by touching her, and she looked very scared of all the noices she herad before. She was so strange. Can you help us with your experiences what can be the problem? I am not sure it is allergy. By the way in her new bloodtest the Kreatinin was very high, but they say it can be from the stress. Please give me some clue which way we should go and serach the origin of the problem. The doctors have NO idea.

It is difficult to start to narrow in on a possible underlying condition in cases like this, is the collar a regular collar or flea collar? Some flea collars may cause neurological symptoms including twitching in some cases so this would need to be ruled out. Also, the elevated ALT depends on how high the values were since slight elevations may not be clinically significant. The dietary changes may have made the condition more visible due to allergies from new food ingredients. I wish I could narrow in on a specific cause for you, but without examining Venus I cannot think of anything specific; if you live near Budapest you may want to consult with the university there, it is just a ten minute walk from Keleti train station. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

July 23, 2018

Thank you! I know the university, we go there sometimes. A very good specialist doctor saw Venus there and the only he could say, that it is probably allergy. He sent us to an other specialist to have a new blood test for allergy. But not now, in a month. Honestly, I dont beleive that they can find the problem. They havent for 3 months. I have two cats, both live in the house. Not too much choises for flea or any other parasites. It was a regular collar after cleaning the ghiandola odorifera abscess not to bother the wound. Nothing has changed in her life until I started the BARF but it was 2 weeks ago. What is interesting that she doesnt tremble when she is deep sleeping. She is very calm those times. Maybe there are two kind of problems and there is no connection between the trembling and licking herself. It is not easy to see her and can not do anything. I am not a doctor and if they dont know anything how I can know? I will inform you about he results if we will have if you are interested in it. t is really shooting that the ALT is not necceserely high. Thanks a lot taking your time with this. Best regards

Has Symptoms

Hi I have a Birman female cat, and she's been having irritation/pain on both back legs when touched/petted to the point of biting me or the one petting her there. After that is followed a session of licking her self on the inside of her thighs or tips of her feet, where ever the irritation/pain might be which seems to affect the whole leg or legs. She dosent have a problem being touched around her tail, and she's sometimes okay with me hold her leg out doing a natural cat leg stretch. Brushing her legs is sometimes okay, but not always, then she gets irritated and tries to bite/scratch me. She also has Cramps on both back legs,(the right more than the left) when laying/sitting in a postion that triggers it(not sure about the precise critera's. It comes in periods at least once every two days. She's almost 2 years old now, and she's been having the problem for 1½ years, after she got spayed or in the period following that. (Spayed @ 6 months old) Im not sure if its related, its not getting worse, its just been there all this time, and it dosen't seem pleasnt for her to be petted there or in general. She's been to the vet 1 year ago, the vet tried to stretch her legs to relieve any problems, I didnt get any futher instuctions or answers about what it could be if it didnt help. Otherwise she's in good health. She's an Inndoor Cat. And gets lots of playtime, around 2-3 hours a day, running etc. without showing any problems. Its only when im petting her it seems worst.

Why does my cat flick his paw

0 Recommendations

It is possible that Silke has something like twitch-skin syndrome or hyperaesthesia where skin sensitivity in certain areas may lead to twitching of the area and excessive licking and grooming which affects breeds originating around the same geographical area. Ideally, I would visit a Feline Specialist to discuss Silke’s symptoms and to determine if any treatment is necessary. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
