? Could this be feline diabetic neuropathy?

[alio]

Aside from my resident cat Cinna, I also foster cats. One of my fellow foster moms has been looking after a diabetic cat and she mentioned he has a funny walk. He was previously hospitalized for DKA and his levels are now better, but more like in the blue/yellow range (I'm assuming the rescue is aiming for 80 - 200).

She sent me a video and gave me permission to share; I've shared it here (google photos): https://photos.app.goo.gl/yf2HhScWQ8QZFR5U7

It looks to me like he's slightly on his back hocks with his feet turned slightly inward? Could this be feline diabetic neuropathy?

Hi Ali, yes I agree that looks like diabetic neuropathy. My cat Nico had it, although not to that degree. He started walking more normal about a few months after his numbers were more regulated. I also added in Zobaline, a B12 supplement that's supposed to help with neuropathy.

Zobaline is formulated specifically for diabetic cats. Generic forms of methylcobalamin (methyl-B12), which is the ingredient in Zobaline, are also available.

I agree it’s diabetic neuropathy

Thanks all! I thought it fit the description but I wasn't really sure having never seen it before even in videos.
