This morning he started favoring his left front leg refusing to put any weight on it. I felt of the shoulder, leg and foot joint with no reaction from him. No swelling or tenderness , age about 8. He still eats and climbs to his perch on his cat tower, but kind of reluctantly. When he walks, he limps not putting weight on the leg. Stayed out all day in his heated house until I made him come in
he is in good health, not overweight, eats well, etc.
my fear is not peeing or drinking because he has to stir the litter with his front paws. So being male my worry is blockage. When he pees it’s about the size of a half dollar so his plumbing is small. . Now we live out and getting into a vet is almost impossible. Largest town is about 80 miles one way. Oh, and the last time he did have to go was a disaster. Getting him into the carrier, bit me, growling, etc.
question is there anything I can give him otc for pain? I’ve used chondroidin is the past on my older cats…seems to work.
please help
