What is wrong with my cat?
Ok, I have taken my kitten to the vet yesterday and they did the glucose test and confirmed that he did not have cat aids or leukemia. He is very skinny and i thought maybe it was a case of worms. so we gave him a treatment of dewormer. But when i woke up this morning he is kicking his arms and legs around as if he thinks he is running. I wonder if it is neurological but can not be certain. we also believe he lost his sight quite suddenly. also he was able to sit up yesterday and now he no longer has the strength to sit up, he always lays on his side. if i try to pick him up and see if he will stand he just falls back on his side.

OH NO this is so sad I am so sorry!!! While you and the VET are trying to get her well, Please feed your baby the best high Quality food you can get, use ones with NO grains and NO corn this just may turn her around it not it wont hurt at all and it will be keeping her healthy.. go to a local mom and pop pet supply and ask them about wellness and avo and other no grain foods.. canned only!! she will get the nutrition she needs and gain some weight, she may have allergic reactions to the grains an corn in the food you are giving her now.. look at the Label, I bet there isn't any pure meat in there? Also avoid a lot of fish some a week is oK not a steady full diet of it.. avoid beef too, I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER GOOD LUCK GOD BLESS
It does sound like a neurological problem, and a vet is best qualified to diagnose....however...
I study toxicology and nutrition, and I know that many of the chemicals that are present in the average home environment are neurotoxic and can cause or contribute to neurological symptoms.
I knew a woman whose dog kept having seizures until she found a vet well read on environmental factors for neurological complaints in animals. He directed her to discontinue using her hair spray. Voila! No more doggie seizures.
I don't know what your home environment is like, but if you use scented candles or air fresheners, if you wear cologne or use sports stick deodorants that are strongly scented, if you use heavily scented laundry products (detergents and fabric softners or scented dryer sheets)...any and all of these things can in fact cause neurological symptoms in your pets, even in you. You would be the one to assess whether there are toxic chemicals making your kitten sick. Take him out in the fresh air for a long break from your indoor air...see if his symptoms improve any. If you have a cat carrier, you can place him in the carrier for an extended time in the great outdoors. If he improves with this fresh air intervention, then you get to do detective work to figure out what is making him sick.
Good luck
Your cat sounds seriously ill and should be taken back to the vet NOW!! This is not normal for a cat and it could be poisoning or something neurological. Either way he needs to be seen.
BTW, the glucose test is for diabetes not for FIV and leukemia.
Your cat needs to back to the vet as an emergency ASAP!
