Jerry AgainJerry was out all night last night,he was enjoying the warm eveing to much to come back in. I called him in this morning,he came back had some breakfast and wen back out for a while,I called him back in when I went for my interview. When I came back he was lay on my bed and he was trying to get up but didnt want to put any weigh on his back legs so he just dragged himself round into another position and lay back down. I picked him up and put him on the floor and he was limping on his back right leg,but he was putting a little weight on it. I put him back on the bed and he just went back to sleep for a while. He let me have a goodlook at his paw and I can not see any cuts at all,he wasnt crying out in pain or anything. He has now moved off the bed onto the floor,but is still limping  Have called the vets,they said that they think hecould have just strained it some how and to keep an eye on him,if it doesnt improve or im at all worried about to take him down. Hes absolutely fine in himself,eating and drinking as normal,but is obviously in some discomfort bless him.

Bless him - what's he done to himself? Landed awkwardly perhaps. Comforting vibes for Jerry and Don't worry vibes for you Erin. I know you'll be fretting until he's not limping any more. Does your vet open over the w/end? |

That's a relief. We have to make a 40 min journey to the main practice over a weekend. |

Poor Jerry, I hope his leg will be better soon... I wonder if he could have caught a claw on something and it was pulled and therefore painful to put weight on Have you checked his leg to make sure he hasn't had a bite, Erin? |

I double checked after talking to Elaine as she thought it could be a bite,but i cant see anything there at all. Hes not in any real pain because he is quite heppy to let me have a look and hes not crying out,but hes got a little discomfort there |

Maybe ..........he has jarred it cats are made of ubber but at ties even they strecth the boundaries a little especialy young healthy Toms like Jerry although I would keep an eye ot for a bite...Oz was bitten once and had blood poisioning before it came to light...keep an eye on him...especialy if he starts licking somewhere relentlessly or one of the others do...always spotted Oz's war wounds from when Cleo licked him...or the dogs...... |
