Hi Angela,
I don't know if this is any serious condition but if it is something new I'd monitor and take notes as to how often it does happen. I hope it is just one time occurrence, could be for any reason. If no other warning signs in her behavior/acting out of character and the 5P are in order than it is possible it resolves with eating/resting. :bighug::bighug::bighug: for Phoebes speedy recovery.
 
Ditto what Kris said about Phoebe's sweet face-- and those big eyes!!!

For what it's worth, Amber's front legs do that too, and have since I got her three years ago (age 11). The vet watched her do it on the first getting-to-know-you check-up, and couldn't figure out what was causing it. It's never worsened that I can see in the last three years-- it's maybe even gotten a little better since she started getting B12. As others have said, I'd just monitor and cross fingers for now.
 
Chuck's does something similar. Like if you're sitting in a chair with your knee bent 90° then put your foot down only on your toes... Then it bounces up and down. It has gotten better with B12 but hasn't gone away. Doesn't seem to bother him. Vet wasn't concerned with it either.

Still trying to get the 5ps back since diabetes. Maybe with her numbers coming down she can start playing and purring more. Ty

Maybe just over worrying. I give her b12 inject once a week. Is that the best dose? Thank you Nan!! Head bumps
 
Adorable Phoebes :cat:. My thoughts seem to be with the others, it seems neurological if there's been no other explanation for it. With that, she may need the other version of B12. Injectible is Cyanocobalamin, which is good for her IBD; however, Methylcobalamin is better for neurological. I do not know how giving both effects but I think Lois did both with Java, he was given injectible and Zobaline. Hopefully with her numbers getting better she will start playing more, which will help her muscles get some strength back and could help the nerves repair with their cushioning back ;)
