What's wrong with my cat?

There's something wrong with my cat. Maybe you can help me?

He's got a limp. He's been to the vet. Legs manipulated, X-rays taken. Overnight stay. Good thorough examination.

He stopped limping whilst at the vet.

Back home and he's limping again. I was with him and he was sitting down, he turned round to walk away...and fell over! On the side he's limping on.

I'm so worried about him.

He's 3 years old, fully up to date with his vaccinations, due flea, tick and worming. Insured and because of his frequent visits to the vet we also have a pet plan for him.

He's been in a few fights recently and needed antibiotics.

Last October (30th) he was hit by a car and needed a hip op (removed) but due to recent X-rays we know that's healed exceptionally well.

He's limping worse than when he had the op!

Any ideas?

He's taking metacam right now until Wednesday (once a day) and due back for a check up on Thursday.

Ahh, I’ve just read all your posts now and see the limp is probably a result of his scrap. He’s gorgeous. My boy also sleeps flat on his back, legs akimbo when he’s chilled Grin

It's been several days now and he's getting back to his old self. Eyes back to normal. Still limping a bit.

He seems to know when he has to stay at home and rest.

Last check up with the vet tomorrow.
