*12 double shots of Lavazza espresso 1 cup of sugar 1 tablespoon of vanilla 10 cups of skim milk*
Hot or cold? BTW, our 15 yo kitty has lost use of his L hind quarters and can only stagger around (ataxia). Our vet said to get an echocardiogram (which was negative) and then go to a neurologist exam. The neuro would take an MRI ($2000) before making any diagnosis. Since the cat is otherwise healthy, I wonder if there is some shortcut treatment that avoids the expense of an MRI that would alleviate his symptoms, e.g., a cortisone or steroid shot. I am afraid that the MRI would show that he needs some sort of spinal surgery that is either hopelessly expensive or problematic, or both.
