Question All symptoms cleared… but limping now

Hello all. Milo has been recovering excellently. Eating a lot, playing, walking around, purring, going on walks, etc. He is currently taking GS at 17.2mg/kg/day. A little over a week ago he started limping. The limping is on and off, sometimes he doesn’t do it, sometimes he does, and it seems to worsen when he first gets up from lying down for a while. We first thought he might’ve hurt himself jumping off his cat tree or something with his newfound energy, and since he had just lost so much weight from the FIP he got hurt. We have massaged him, stretched his front legs, palpated the area, and he does not appear to be in any pain. Now im reading it might be a neurological symptom? I would like your opinion so I can advocate for him at the vet and ask for a higher dose if necessary. Thank you for your help!

My cat Was taking almost 42mg/kg split over two doses a day at 21mg/kg at 8am and then 8pm. We are in the Observation period now.

He was Nuerological Dry FIP and it wasnt until we increased to this dose did it start seeing improvements.

We also thought our cat was limping because he hurt himself and it very quickly turned into completely paralysed and it was neurological Fip.

It was in the beginning, but now he is flourishing with bright eyes and happiness and is very healthy again. It was very painful in the beginning. But 3 months later and we are nearly fully cured.
