I have a 3 year old rescue cat named Willow. 4 weeks ago I took her to my usual vet as she seemed very lethargic, no life in her and hobbling slightly. Vet diagnosed an infection, gave antibiotic injection and packed us off.
Took her back to vet 5 days ago as she still seems unhappy, not really moving at all other than for food or to use litter tray. Vet thinks she has a severe heart murmur but sent me away with no pain relief, just instructions to video Willow when she's limping. Vet has seen video and has scheduled full body x rays for Monday but last night Willows front legs seemed to totally collapse, she couldn't pull herself up and was kind of dragging herself about in a panic. This morning she's back to limping/hobbling and crying out when she tries to walk. Vet told me NOT to give any pain relief when I saw her on Monday but it's breaking my heart seeing her in so much pain. Does anyone have any advice as to why this could be happening, or what's causing it? I should add Willow is an indoor cat, no stairs, nowhere high for her to fall from
