Hi,
My boy Charlie is lame. He has been for about 5 or 6 days. He is 10 months old, neutered and indoor/outdoor. Yesterday he seemed worse so I took him to the vet. He examined him and watched him walk and no signs of lameness at all. He had a fever though and listened to my protestations of his having been lame and crying when his rear right leg was touched, he had a slight fever too so administered unknown paid meds. I meant to ask what they were at the time but was overwhelmed by his apparent recovery I forgot. Anyway fast forward to tonight and he is still very much lame. He has been laying down all day, will only eat cooked steak. I haven't seen him drink all day so I administered some water via syringe almost 2 hours ago. After that he hid in my wardrobe and won't come out. I'm currently waiting for my vet to call me back. I'm mostly concerned because the vet seemed so non plussed and we have recently moved so this is a new vet and as we live in Saudi Arabia, I have to admit I doubt the ability of the vets. I wish Charlie could tell me what is wrong. Does anyone else have any similar experience? Any idea what it could be? Thank you. One very worried kitty mamma
