It's been since mid June that Riley hit remission. He's been doing great.
Until last weekend. He's lost a considerable amount of muscle mass all of the sudden and lost some weight as well... His hind legs lost some muscle mass with having diabetes but since the weekend he can barely walk and he's not jumping up to sit on my lap anymore. When I pick him up his legs twitch like crazy. I also noticed his head twitching a bit. He seems depressed. He's siamese and always talks but he's not talking much since the symptoms started. He's eating and drinking water OK and there is no change in his litter box.
I tested his blood levels today and he's at 120.
I'm wondering if this disease has contributed to his sudden decline and if anyone else has experienced anything like this?
He's almost 16 years old and I'm afraid this is it for the poor guy. I'm planning to bring him to the vet tomorrow but any advice would be great.
Thank you!
