It's been five days since my eleven year old cat fell about seven feet from his cat enclosure walk way. I saw it happen on my security camera and immediately took him to the vet. She did an x ray and examined his leg and foot. The x ray didn't show any fractures or breaks and she thought that the pain was in his paw.
I was given an anti inflammatory to administer for three days and told to prevent him from jumping. He has been confined to a crate except for brief walks around the yard. He still doesn't want to put weight on that paw.
It's really stressing me out that his condition hasn't seemed to improve and I would like to know if anyone has input on the situation. Should I give it more time? Should I seek out a second opinion? My concern is that something was missed and he will end up with some permanent deformity or chronic pain in the joint.
I hope I'm just over reacting and that I'm underestimating the recovery time for such injuries. Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
