Hello all,
I have just joined your forum, as I have used your advice in the past as a 'guest' reader, and its been pretty useful!
I have a 1.5 year old tom cat who has developed what seems like a painful rear leg and back after a trip outdoors exploring. He moans when we pick him up, growls when i stroke his back and nearly bit me when i touched his leg!
his claws are all fine so i don't think he was hit by a car and there is no external signs of damage. He isn't really walking around much but doesn't seem to have much of a limp, but he has been asleep now for nearly 2 days and seems uncomfortable lying on his side.
He has eaten and used his litter tray.
Do you think this needs a trip to the vets?
Many thanks for your future help!
