He's limping...

My lovely bloody Bobs has done something to his front paw, it looks quite swollen & he's limping on it. Whilst I was on the phone to the vet, he got out of the window, I was so scared for him but luckily managed to bribe him into the house with some wet food.

The vet advised me to keep him in over the weekend so I've had to close the window they use for coming in & out. I was going to keep his brother in too but Bobby has just been hissing at him so I've had to let him out. I'm going to be on cat porter duties all weekend now.

Wish me luck in keeping him in & entertained & I'm keeping everything crossed for Bobs being okay & not having really hurt himself.

1st pic from today & 2nd pic from the other week, it defo looks swollen.

My poor baby.

Good luck!

So, he's been seen. No obvious break or infection so he's home with pain killers & antibiotics and I've got to monitor him for the next 24/48 hours.

How's he doing this morning OP?

Morning joris he's absolutely FINE! Walking around like nothing happened, no limp & the swelling has gone down. He's gagging to get out. Think I'm going to keep him in a few more hours and if he's still okay, let him out.

I could really have done without spending the £325. But hey ho, I'm claim it back & the main thing is he's back to his usual self.

Good job he's cute!! Thanks for checking in.

I’m so glad he’s feeling better. Maybe it was a stung or a sprain.

That's great news! It's amazing what a little bit of pain relief can do.

I'm dealing with a very long term limp at the moment (hopefully being x-rayed on Tuesday) so I know how stressful it can be.

Ah, hope your kitty is okay!
