Hi all,
My poor little Villy has a sore paw. I first noticed she seemed to be holding it up on Friday evening, then Sat she seemed ok, then yesterday evening she was holding it up (front right) and licking it a lot, and shaking it occassionally.
I called the vets advice line and was advised just to rest her as much as possible.
She seemed fine in all other ways, she was still using her scratching mat and jumping up to the windowsill! It's difficult to tell a cat to rest, without locking her up, which would stress her out big time.
Anyway, my s.o. is taking her to the vets today at 2.30, I really wish I could be there but I have to be at work
We all live together so she knows him, and he will be much calmer than I would have been, so it should be less stressfull for her.
It could be something as small as a grass seed in her paw, or she may have fractured it - who knows. At least I have insurance for her so she can have anything that she needs.
Fingers and paws crossed for Villy!
