Are severe symptoms in a Manx cat from a brain bleed normal?

Manx cats, due to their genetically short tails, can sometimes have problems with their lower spine that can cause walking, tail issues, incontinence etc. It is a good idea to bring Tigger into your vet to have him examined to make sure there aren't any issues or problems that can be addressed to help him feel more comfortable if he's having any trouble.

I would be very suspicious that he had a urinary blockage, was able to pass the obstructing material and that's when he got all wet and litter covered and may have passed blood. It would be the best plan if action to take him to your veterinarian for an exam and a urinalysis. Explain exactly what is going on. He may have an infection, crystalsi in his urine or bladder stones. If he was obstructed, he could do it again very soon and this can be a life threatening emergency.

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Buster! No, a sensitive and bleeding bum is not normal. It could be possible he is suffering from intestinal worms or impacted anal sacs causing this issue. I would take him into the vet tomorrow.

These are very concerning signs - bleeding from the mouth can be a sign of a serious illness such as heart disease, severe liver or kidney disease, a clotting disorder, or severe dental problems. Combined with the fact that he is just laying down and pooping without realizing it, I would be very worried that he has a serious, life-threatening problem as this is extremely abnormal in cats - it often indicates that they are so weak and sick that they don't notice or care that they are soiling themselves. I would recommend getting your kitty to an emergency vet right away - he/she can do a thorough oral exam, and may also need to do blood work and x-rays to help diagnose the problem and see what can be done to help him.

With seizures starting at that age an a change in behavior ibwiukd bravery concerned there is a disease affecting the brain that is causing the problems.

I would say it would be abnormal to be cebellar hypoplasia because she was once normal. There is obviously something serious going on with her brain to cause her to be have these issues. They can be caused by an inflammatory, metabolic, or infectious issue. I would have her assessed by a neurologist to discuss what may be going on and treatment options.
