Based on the postural examination, pelvic limb reflexes, and nociceptive examinations, it was pointed to an abnormal disturbance in both hind legs and additionally, there was no response anal sphincter area. A series of neurological examinations indicated that the cat had a lumbosacral nerve disorder. Hematological examinations suggesting the anemia indicated.
