Sick Cat



QUESTION

x rays showed alesion in the chest and she seems almost paralyed on the left side whats wrong



ANSWER

I'm sorry. That's just not enough information. Your vet who did the x-rays must have given your SOME idea?

I don't know if the lesion you speak of is a tumor or fluid or something related to the heart. I would have to see it or know more. If she is paralyzed on one side, it is most often due to a tumor or other problem with the nervous system (brain or spinal cord) or due to a heart problem (a clot lodged in the blood supply to the area). Either situation has a grim prognosis.

I'd be happy to try and give you more information if you can tell me more about the situation.

Good luck. I am sorry for you and your kitty.

Sincerely,
Dr. Neely
