Cat hurt
Posted: Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:45 pm
Cat had a bad bleeding wound on back leg probably from a wild animal
outside....fox or raccoon or coyote. The wound is healed up and the cat was
still sleeping all the time which was sort of normal for him. But now he has a
limp and her leg shakes when she tries to stand on it...She has been climbing
onto couch and a chair all this week...so you wouldn't think it was broken.
But she meows when it is touched...not that deep moaning that cats do when in
a great deal of pain. I touched the bruise and she doesn't wince but if you
touch the leg lower down she pulls it up a little. What could this be? If it
were broken she couldn't walk at all, right? But she walks out to where her
food it during the day and I hadn't seen a limp before. Any ideas before my
husband drags her off to the vet?
