What should I do if my cat can’t stand up and is paralyzed?

If your cat is unable to stand up and is limp, this may be an emergency situation that requires immediate contact with your veterinarian.

Here are the emergency steps:

1. Contact your veterinarian immediately: Whenever your cat suddenly exhibits unusual behavior or symptoms, especially general limpness, you should seek medical attention immediately.

2. Maintain its body temperature: Make sure your cat is placed in a warm, quiet place and wrapped in a blanket or towel to maintain its body temperature.

3. Don’t give your cat food or water: Don’t give your cat food or water while you wait for the vet. Doing this can prevent further health problems such as suffocation.

In short, if your cat is unable to stand up and is limp, please contact your veterinarian immediately and place it in a warm, quiet place without giving it food or water until the veterinarian arrives for examination and treatment.
