Title: Winston has done something to his back leg !
Post by: bunglycat on April 04, 2013, 16:52:30 PM
Just got in half hour ago from having some more work done on my tattoo and Winston didn't try and get out when I opened the door.
I went to him and he can't put his back foot down ! He was fine when I left this morning at 9am !
Rang vet straight away and off in 15 mins .
Hope he has just sprained it  :scared:
Please send healing vibes for him , Thankyou .

Fingers crossed it's nothing serious, if only cats could talk and tell ushow painful it is and how they did it!  :hug:

Just got back and he has a lump on what would be our heel !
No idea what he has done , had a penicillin injection and got metacam .
Have to see how he is in 5 days , may need an X-ray.
What's worrying is he has quite fat sides and the vet said it might be fluid , so may have to have a scan to see if it is .

He weighed him and because he has a bad leg he just sat there good as gold . He is 5.7kg. ,

Not sure Dawn , never thought of that and the vet didn't say it was . Will be keeping an eye on it anyway.
He is lapping up the extra attention now, laying in front of fire, hand fed !

Love you Winston  :hug:

I'm sure he'll be ok after his M&S prawns.
