We took our 4-yr old cat in about 6 weeks ago for a noticeable limp in her front left leg. We poked and prodded her but got no pain reaction from her. We’d watch her walk and sometimes the limp was very noticeable and other time you could barely see it. The vet examined her and couldn’t find any abscess, but said it could be contained within the leg. He gave her antibiotics and offered an x-ray as well but also said an x-ray probably wouldn’t find anything. So we just went with the antibiotics and in 2 days she wasn’t limping anymore. Now 6 weeks later the same thing again with the same leg. Limping but no reaction to us poking and prodding. We are taking her in again and this time will probably ask for an x-ray to make sure nothing is wrong.
Do you think it’s just a coincidence that she’s limping on the same leg again do to being bit by another one of our cats or a neighbor cat or do you think there is something wrong with that leg?
