On Sunday i noticed my one of cats was walking with a bit of a stiff leg and she was also making some strange sounds, growing and loud meows. She had clearly hurt herself somehow, i hadn't noticed a limp or anything before this.
So i get a vet appointment for Tuesday and the vet feels around and the pain point seems to be her hip. no noticeable wounds, seven years old and healthy otherwise so vet thought arthritis or similarr unlikely.
She gave me Meloxicam and said if she's not looking better after a week come back for sedation and xray. well it's only been 3 days but the limp seems worse rather than better so i think i will book her in sooner rather than later.
In the mean time i'm worrying my head off about what it could be. what kind of thing could start small and get worse even on pain killers and anti inflamatory? could it be a fracture? arghh my poor baby cat :(
