Only just noticed that Mister is limping on his Front left paw i have given it a fell and there are no signs of cuts and he doesn't want to move is currently sat on my lap ..he doesn't seem to want to bend it ..he is holding it up :(
I am so worried he is not being himself and seems quite down ..He was fine earlier he is eating i just gave him his dinner but had to bring it to him :(...I dont really want to go to the emergency vet as i had a very bad experience with them and would rather wait till tomorrow just dont know what to do in case it get worse through the night..
OH said i am over reacting an it is probably a sprain what would you do ?
-
Poor little Mister :( It's hard to say what to do, hopefully Lynn will see this and be able to give some advice. If it was one of the boys and he didn't seem in pain then I'd monitor him until tomorrow and if it was no better then take him then.

when i first got makosi nearly 2 years ago
she jumped on top of the freezer one evening then fell off and fell in the bin
i quickly rescued her but she was limping and holding her paw up crying
she was only a baby
i was so worried
i rang emergency vet number and they told me just to let her rest and bring her in next morning
which i did do
and they gave her a painkiller injection
she was fine after that
back to normal
just keep an eye on him
let him rest
if he wants to stay on ya knee then let him at least then he will be resting :Luv:
-
It might be worth ringing the vet up and seeing what they would advise, they may be able to give him some painkillers til morning. Cat's are very good at hiding pain, and if they do show it, they are usually in some discomfort :( I once had a cat in with a broken pelvis, he had a slight limp on the back end, and the owners left him over the weekend before I went round and took him in for an x ray. I hope he's alright bless him, xxx
-
are you sure it couldnt be a catbite ?
anyways i suggest you give him peace tonight and if its not better by morning then vets first thing.
-
No there is no sign of a bite he will let me touch his paw it seems that he can't bend it though :(
I phoned the vets and they have said to monitor and see how he is in the morning :(...I am so worried for him ...
Poor little mite is curled up on my lap although he normally purrs but no purring now :(
-
just leave it i think and take him to vets in morning.
:hug:
-
Thanks Lynn ..I am sure that it will be a sprain or something he just seems to be sleeping a lot !
-
I am sure he will be fine tonight but if its still aprob tomorrow and he still sleepy I would get the vet to check him out
-
how is he today ?
-
Well been at the vet this morning and he has been given an anti infamatory (he said it was very swollen) ..he said his carpus and surrounding areas looked like they were damaged but he could not be sure.
He wanted to do an xray bu i stupidly had given him his breakfast so have to wait until tomorrow now ..he has managed to get onto HIS sofa though but is certainly not himself.
Poor little thing howled his head off in the vets, the vet thought that he had been howling like that since he hurt his foot !!!
He weighed him as well he is 5.5 kilos ..he said he is in great condition apart from this!!!
-
Oh Mister :(
Hopefully you'll get it sorted tomorrow Lisa,
Best wishes from me and my girls

Hope mister is better soon, let us know how he is going xxx :Flowers:
-
No they dont go out he was bombing about the house like a LOON yesterday but also noticed that the cat tree had fallen down as well ..
He is sleeping now which the vet said means that the painkiller is making him more relaxed so able to sleep !?
I do hope that it is just a sprain ...the butter of it is that i cancelled my cat insurance last week and new one i have taken out wont cover him :scared: :scared: :scared:
Fingers crossed he will be fine !
-
Poor Mister :( Give him a gentle headkiss from me and the boys :Luv: Hope his little foot is better soon.
-
Aw, poor Mister ..... give him a little tummy tickle from me and Max, and I hope the xray goes well tomorrow. He's probably just landed awkwardly on his foot bless him while he was hooning around the house :hug:.
-
Awww poor little mite, it sounds as if the cat tree may have landed on his foot :( Give him a big cuddle for me and good luck for tomorrow, hopefully the painkillers will make him feel more comfortable, xxxx
-
Fingers crossed for today.
-
Poor lad - give him a tummy rub and lots of tummy kisses from me :Luv:
-
good luck at the vets today lisa
-
Hope all goes well today Lisa :hug:
Please give Mister a cuddle from us xxx
-
Well Mister turned into the spawn of satan at the vets and took to Hissing at the vets ...think he was VERY scared :(...plus it was my OH who took him in not me as i had to come into work today !
Just waiting for them to call now ...I hope i hear back soon i can't really concentrate at work i wished i had taken him myself worried that he is all alone and seriously stressed out now !
Thanks guys will keep you posted x
-
Aw, fingers crossed Mister is OK, I'm sure it was all an act to make o/h feel guilty about leaving him ;) Whereas our puds know it won't wash with us!
Hope that call comes soon, its so hard to concentrate on anything while you're waiting isn't it :hug:
-
Have just heard back from the vets...he has fractured two bones in his foot :(
Vet has said that he does not want to operate as these can ususally heal themselves so he has bandaged him up and he is resting now !
Seems quite positive so i am happy :) ...can't wait to pick him up now want to give him the biggest cuddle for being such a brave boy :Luv:
-
Aw, poor wee baby, give him a big cuddle from me later as well - sounds like the cat tree did land on his foot then?
Hopefully he'll be back up and running around very soon, and that the fracture heals quickly.
-
awwww poor babe :hug:
hope he gets better soon
-
Oh No, poor little Mister :( He's going to need lots of cuddles and TLC from his Mum :Luv:
-
I think that the tree must have landed on his foot :( ..
Will have to perhaps move the tree out in the evening and when i am not there although not sure where i will put it ..or get some weights so it doesn't fall ..poor thing must have been very scary if that is what happened .
-
aaww poor mister, dont worry though cats are quick healers and the other bones will act as splints so the bones should knit together quickly.
sounds like the tree possibly fell on him but he wrenched/twisted his foot quickly to pull it out.
-
Poor baby :( sending him lots of love and cuddles and wish him a speedy recovery :hug:
-
He is back and sleeping now ..a little bit jumpy but he has been through a lot still left him on his own did give him a little fuss and he purred away :Luv:
Here are a few pics of the little soilder xx Thanks for all your kind words everyone !

-
Aww, bless him.
-
How's our brave little man doing today Lisa?
-
He seems to be doing okay ..although a little bit of the bandage has come away but nothing serious i think i will phone the vets and ask if they will need to do anything just in case i think though !!
He said to say big purrs and headrubs to everyone xx
-
awwwwwww he is beautiful looking
glad he is a little better
-
Little butter managed to get the bandage off so had to be sedated again and have the bandage put back on ..well a new one anyone ..he is now sporting a rather dashing red number lol
-
would putting a repellant on the bandage help or would that just drive them crazy.....my sisters cat kept undoing the bandage.....not good all that sedation x
-
If he keeps pulling the bandage off maybe you will have to resort to putting a "lampshade" on him.
-
Sam he already has a cone on him he is actually shaking it out ..not licking it off ..dont ask me how he managed it !!
Naughty boy :Luv: :Luv:
-
Only just caught up with this thread, so sorry to hear that Mister is not well and hope his bones heal quick ;D
-
Thanks Gill he s snuggled up next to me as we speak and said he is feeling much better and even starting to get back to his naughty self again x
-
Thats great ;D
-
Am glad to hear that.
-
Glad he seems to be getting used to his snazzy bandage. Perhaps he just didn't like the blue one! Hope your paw mends soon, Mister - more tummy rubs and kisses from me :Luv:
-
Think i spoke too soon ..came down this morning and this one has vanished :scared: :scared:
Poor darling is back in AGAIN !!!!..They wont be doing full sedation this time though ...Paws crossed this one will stay on ..dont even know how he is managing to get the thing off !
-
Naughty little Mister :sneaky: I think you need to give him a good talking to and explain how the nasty bandage is actuualy trying to help mend his poorly foot, that should do the trick ;D The boys send him a healing head kiss :Luv: :Luv:
-
I am starting to think that he likes it there LOL..although judging by the meowsing i am not sure about that at all !
Although perhaps he has a thing for the vet nurse !!!!!
-
Perhaps he didn't like either colour bandage, and wants pink :rofl:
-
mmmm pink ..not sure Daddy would be so happy about that :rofl:
Pink hmmmph !!...Although Moggchops has said Pink is so this season :)
-
If he wants to be really up to date with the fashion world yellow is the colour to go for ;D
-
Well will have to wait and see will have to find out what latest fashions he is donning and update you !!! :rofl:
-
Even being a prim princess, Lexy says the pink bandage is so not the colour for Mister. Yellow has its place, but a bandage to suit the colour of his eyes will do she is sure.
(can't believe I just typed that!)
-
LOL...well after all the hype ..it is a very boring ....Blue ...apparently that is what he prefered ...he is a boy after all !!
-
Ducha had a blue one with little white paw prints on, very becoming ........and it matched his eyes :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Hope Mister is behaving now ;D
-
Oh gollly dont tell him that ..he will be trying to get one of them next Gill :rofl:
Fingers crossed he can keep it on until at least Thursday he has to go back for a check up !!
