“…Important diagnostic possibilities for muscle tremors and fasciculations in cats include intoxications (organophosphates, carbamates, organochlorines, strychnine, pyrethrins and pyrethroids, mycotoxins), metabolic derangements (hypoglycaemia, hypocalcaemia, hypokalaemia, hepatic encephalopathy, uraemia), encephalomyelitis, feline hyperaesthesia syndrome and degenerative and inherited cerebellar diseases. 3 , 4 This case report presents a novel clinical presentation of a feline GI obstruction in which the initial clinical signs were severe muscle tremors and fasciculations reminiscent of permethrin intoxication but demonstrated subsequently to be related to hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis due to complete proximal intestinal obstruction.…”

Case summaryAn 18-month-old, female spayed, Australian Mist cat presented with a 24 h history of muscle tremors and inappetence progressing to collapse with generalised muscle fasciculations. The cat was diagnosed with a hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis due to a duodenal foreign body found to be a trichobezoar at coeliotomy. The cat made a complete recovery after enterotomy to remove the trichobezoar, with cessation of neuromuscular clinical signs and normalisation of its electrolyte and acid–base imbalances.Relevance and novel informationMuscle fasciculations and tremors in cats can be caused by intoxications, metabolic derangements, encephalomyelitis, feline hyperaesthesia syndrome and cerebellar diseases. The presenting clinical signs of severe muscle fasciculations and tremors have not previously been reported in association with an intestinal obstruction in the cat.
