Did could have been kidney failure they don't retain potassium, which is necessary for muscles to work. This same thing happened to a rescue bottle baby kitty. At 4 months, he just collapsed like a rag doll. Bloodwork showed kidney failure. He was given one med for the kidneys, one for potassium which he takes daily. He also eats SciDiet canned kidney food. He collapsed about 7 years ago. He recently had bloodwork before dentistry...his kidney values were fine.

Take sick animals to the vet!!! Lots of health issues can be fixed!
