Dislocated back leg
Need a bit of advice about a cat who appears to have dislocated his
back leg. It pops out at the top if he misses his footing but he gets it back himself and, although he doesn't want to walk, he'll make the effort to get to his food, and then appears to be moving almost normally. He can use the leg to scratch, which doesn't give him pain, and generally he looks pretty relaxed when lying flat. Here in UK we're in the middle of an annual firework festival, which turns the place into a war zone for several days, and this has seriously spooked him this year. In view of this I am reluctant to take him to the vet, especially as it sounds as though there isn't really a fix for this. If it's going to be an anaestheticx-raypainkillersrest diagnosis, I'll save him the trauma. Not actually my cat, but any info I can pass to the owner much appreciated. |
