I already put a post about this but now I can make a bit of an update.
So about 2 weeks ago I noticed my cat, Mitu, was limping of the right, back leg. He wasn't limping all the time tho, he was only limping when he was putting pressure on it, like after finishing peeing or pooping. I checked him everywhere and no pain, at least he didn't show any.
Now, last saturday we went to the vet. The vet checked his leg and gave us two outcomes.
1. Muscle related
2. Join related, but he has to do an x-ray for that. So he sent us home with some pain and inflammation medication and said to watch him for 2-3 weeks. He also said no play, run, jump.
Until today he seemed to get better, I didn't see him limping or anything but because he didn't play this week, he has a lot of energy, specially at night
Now today, he made a big jump, he also runed abit thru the house like crazy, but after all that burst of energy he limped again
Now, I don't know what to say...how long does it take for a muscle injury to get better?
Can it be joint related? What could have coused that?
I still have 2 pills to give him, but of he doesn't get better I need to go back and I am really scared about that. Specially because he gets so stressed out when he sees strangers.
Did someone go thru this before? I don't know what to think and Im all alone, you guys are the only people I can talk to about this.
