With active treatment, recovery may occur in about 7-10 days. If you cannot return to standing after 10 days, the prognosis will be very poor. Cats will have a strong stress response when they are overly frightened. The stress response will lead to a decline in the cat's overall immunity, and may also cause an inflammatory reaction in a certain part. If the symptoms are paralysis of the hind limbs, it is likely that neuritis has occurred in the lumbar spine. ​​​​​​

The owner can pinch the soles of the hind limbs with his hands to see if there is any pain reaction. If there is a pain response, there is a possibility of healing. Without a pain response, it is very unlikely that the cat will be able to stand up. Generally, the golden treatment period for this disease is seven days. Once the disease occurs, the cause needs to be diagnosed promptly and targeted treatment is given. The hope of recovery is very high. However, if you miss the golden treatment period, your hind limbs may become sore and weak, and you may even be unable to stand up. Moreover, once a cat is paralyzed, it may suffer from hind limb paralysis or hind limb weakness from time to time in its future life.
