Went to the vet yesterday since my boy was acting weird. Turns out he was showing very mild signs of paralysis. (lemmy.world)

Vet said he needed shots to boost his nerves and if he doesn't respond well in a couple days he'll do an X-ray and decide on a further course of treatment. He's back to purring in my lap again. Hug your kitties extra tight for me tonight.

I'll ask the vet when I bring him in today. Thank you so much.

Any news? How is he doing?

Right. I asked the vet and he said that based on what he's seeing, this wasn't it. As for how he's doing, he was doing better after the first shot he got. He started getting more mobile, walking faster, being able to jump a little bit and such. He got the second shot today. We'll continue to monitor his progress.
