Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old female domestic short hair cat was brought in because she was having trouble with her back legs and seemed unsteady while walking. The veterinarian discovered a subarachnoid cyst, which is a fluid-filled sac in the spinal cord area, using a special imaging test. Treatment options for this condition can vary, and it's important for pet owners to discuss the best approach with their veterinarian to help manage their cat's symptoms and improve mobility.
