I have a 6 month old Devon Rex. This is my second Devon rex my first was full of energy and personality. Hazel has never seemed right to me. She was only playful for a couple of days she had a great appetite. She was very lathargic and slept never played. I just figured this was her personality she has always been cuddly sweet she prefers to sleep in my bathroom vanity. Last week I noticed she was wobbly on her hind legs and could no longer jump on her favorite chair or food dish. Her appetite is no where near it used to be. I have started feeding her canned food bc she seems to enjoy that. I took her to the vet. She only weights 2.5 pounds. They did tests everything looked fine he could not explain the hind legs. So they just sent me home and said lets wait and see??? I called the breeder she told me she has retired the mother bc she found out that a kitten from the previous litter died from FIP so she is pretty convinced that is where I am headed. So just wondering if anyone has any thoughts. She just sleeps all day and now prefers to sleep next to me instead of her cozy spot in my bathroom. I have found droppings on floor she cant get up in her litter box so I bought her a shorter one to see if she will use it. She doesnt seem to be in pain just wants to be held all the time. Very sad not sure what I can do for her. Has anyone had a similiar experience? Thank you
