I'm looking for advice about our 7 yr old tabby. Over the last few months we have noticed that she seems to have a weakness in one of her back legs. She has a bit of a wobble or wiggle when she runs, and sometimes the leg slides out from under her.
The vet examined her and could find no reason for this, and prescribed anti inflammatory medication, however this has not really helped.
She doesn't seem too distressed, is still going out and eating. She is miaowing more, but isn't crying out in pain when she walks or lands on her back legs.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or knows what might be causing this? The vet mentioned having her back in for an X-ray, but she is so distressed by trips to the vet! So I would only want to put her through that if it is really necessary and would improve her condition.
Would appreciate thoughts and advice.
Her name is Topsy, and here she is enjoying the sunshine!
