Feline Leukomyelopathy (FLM), is a disorder affecting panthers and bobcats in Florida.

It causes microscopic changes in the brain and spine, causing varying degrees of rear leg weakness and difficulty walking. As of 2021, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and its collaborators are continuing extensive testing to determine the cause of the disorder.^[1]^[2]
