Without prompt intervention, a cat with severe neuritis may only survive for approximately 3 to 7 days. This underscores the importance of early detection and veterinary care for feline neurological issues. Encephalitis, a specific form of neuritis affecting the brain, is particularly critical. Untreated feline encephalitis can lead to death within 3 to 7 days. In cases where treatment is ineffective, a cat might survive for about two weeks. Several factors influence the prognosis, including the cat's overall health and the severity of the disease. Cats in poor physical condition, especially those presenting with severe symptoms like limb tremors and high fever, face a higher risk of rapid deterioration and death.
