Hello! After getting our two quarreling felines finally able to cohabitate, I finally felt like things were smooth sailing until about a week ago. My little Mickey started being more lethargic, not racing around, and developed a strange habit of routinely sitting up on his haunches for a moment. He was still eating, drinking, no vomiting etc... After about 4 days of this, I took him to the vet where he was found to be perfectly healthy, if not just a tad overweight. She even took some scans to make sure that all organs looked good and there weren't any missed obstructions, etc...All good.
That was last Wednesday. Yesterday, I noticed that the strange sitting up behavior had greatly reduced, but now he is walking really weird. He has a strange, kind of stilted gait, like it hurts to walk. He isn't favoring a particular leg or side, he is just walking with a much shorter stride and comes down heavier on his feet and acts like he doesn't want to be on his feet much. He still is lethargic, but interested in his environment and food! Any thoughts? I am wondering if he fell off a bookcase or something and hurt his back? I do have another call in to the vet and am waiting for a response.

Still waiting to hear back from vet.
