Beans is losing use of his hind legs.

Hi, I need some help for my cat. Been to the vet and called others without much success.

Beans has been losing the use of his hind legs. He does not flinch or seem to be in any pain. He can barely jump anymore and falls alot when trying.

If it is arthritis what should I do? Is there anything over the counter I can give to him?

No, there is nothing over the counter that is safe to give to cats; your veterinarian has already tried an anti-inflammatory medication, and if this was not helpful, then evaluation by a veterinary neurologist for spinal cord disease is in order. There is one near you:

Good luck,
