Good evening,
First post on a kind of negative note. I have a 10 month old, neutered, siamese mix that within the last 5 hours sporadically is having issues jumping or using his hind end. He walks very stiffly and with an arch in his back. Being the paranoid mother I am, I am super close to taking him to the emergency vet (although the price of that endeavor would be pretty hefty). Part of me wants to think he took a tumble or he tweaked it while playing with his sister, but I don't want to take the chance.
He hasn't had any change in his eating/drinking/litter box habits, but again this was a quick onset and definitely not something that I've ever seen within the 7 months that I've had him.
Am I freaking out a little too fast? Has anybody else had an issue like this with a younger cat? Do you think it's something that can wait until tomorrow to go to the vet and get checked out?
I'll try to get a video of him and his mechanics, but in the interim any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
