2 engine cat

This middle aged cat presented with moderate upper motor neuron paresis and general proprioceptive ataxia in the pelvic limbs. Over the course of a few days it became clear that he had mild LMN paresis in his thoracic limbs and anisocoria. He ultimately was localized to the cervical intumescence. T2 weighted MRI disclosed an intramedullary hyperintensity in the caudal cervical intumescence. Unfortunately other imaging sequences were not performed for technical reasons. CSF tap showed a lymphocytic pleocytosis, but lymphoblasts were not identified. We performed a CT guided bx of the cord which also showed lymphocytes but not definitive evidence of LSA. It was assumed that the cat has either LSA or a viral myelitis (borna or other?). His signs progressed rapidly and he became so paretic in the forelimbs that he could not walk. He was started on a moderate dose of pred and over the course of 3 weeks he began to walk unassisted as seen in the video.
