My cat, Sugar, is almost a year old. When we got her she was a little kitten and we noticed she walked funny but it was never anything serious. As she got older we noticed that she could not run properly or jump at all. We took her to the vet and he told us that she was calcium deficient and that her hind legs must have been discolated when she was being born. He gave us some calcium stuff, but it never helped. A few weeks ago we left on vacation. We just came back today. Her legs are worse than ever. I’ve never seen her like this. They give out completely when she walks. She’ll take a couple of steps and the back half of her will fall and she’ll have to pull it up again and keep walking. And now she’s been trying to scratch the back of her head for like 10 minutes and occasionally she’ll meow and it looks so… weird. Please help me.
If my description wasn’t helpful enough, I took a video of her trying to walk and scratch herself Please watch it and tell me what you think:

I would get a new vet. Weak kind end can be caused by a number of things such as diabetes, anemia, kidney issues, FIP, etc. These can all be a problem over time and continue to get worse if not handled. At the very least I would have thought they would do bloodwork before jumping to conclusions. It can be caused by diet though so if your kitten has been on the same food her whole life you may want to check it out and make sure it’s good quality. If you read the ingredients it should be free of corn, wheat, and by-products. A meat meal such as chicken meal should be the first ingredient. But still, worth a second opinion from the vet. Good luck!
Oh, I wanted to add that at this point I would not hesitate to call the emergency vet if you have one nearby. It may not be an emergency so you can just ask their opinion but it may be something you want to have checked out before Monday.
you need to take it to a vet and see what is wrong duu
