I posted recently about my not so one eyed cat the other day and going to a new vet, since are usual passed away.
Both cats went on Friday afternoonfor a first visit/ yearly exam and vaccines. The previous clinic did not send over their records in time for the appointment but they had told me previously that they would be due for their shots July and August, which I relayed. They're both only indoors, so they only got distemper and rabies vaccination.
Saturday afternoon (approx 24 hrs later), my definitely two eyed cat developed an intermittent limp on his left hind. They had been watching/ chasing chipmunks through the window. At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing, and then it stopped. Happened a couple more times last night and today. He'll be totally fine, doesn't object to me touching either leg or paws, eating, playing, etc. Then all of the sudden he won't put weight on it and hesitant to move. Lasts for a few seconds, sometimes he'll flop on that side to lay, and then he's back to normal.
He's never had a reaction before, and I honestly don't recall which leg they injected him. I'm not sure if he did something chasing chipmunks or if this is a reaction to the vaccines? He's quite athletic normally so I'm doubtful just running would have done something. Vet deemed him perfectly healthy at the time of the visit.
Any idea what this is, or how serious it could be? Office doesn't open until Monday so I can't call them until then. I did manage to get a brief video of it happening.
