Kitten Hurt Leg
Boots, my 5 month old kitten liked to go outside in the evening to
chase bugs and stuff, he would come in and out about every half hour with stories to tell. Five days ago he went out and didn't do his usual in and out, So I went looking for him, even had the neighbor out of bed opening tool shed. Finally three hours later and me yelling is name all over the neighborhood, he comes up on the back deck. His dragging is back leg. There is no open wounds but he appears alittle in shock. Called Vet to get answering machine, though he did call back 6:30 am next morning. Laid on floor with him and during the night he started purring and curling up and relaxing. I took Boots in and they did Xrays, his leg is not broke. The vet put a splint on it for a few days. Boots eating and personality is still going strong. Yesterday they took splint off leg, still not using it today, legiment they feel maybe streched. Has anyone had this happen to there kitty and do they eventually get to using theleg? |

He may have a sprain or "soft tissue injury." These can be so painful. Have you ever had a sprain? Nothing shows on an xray, but it still is agony to use the hand/arm/leg you hurt. In addition they take a long time to heal. I had a badly sprained hand that took two months to feel normal. I think he may just need some time to heal. Call your vet and see what he says. |
