She is having to have yet another vet visit on Mon!! She has had an unexplained limp most of the year - we had x-rays done which didn't show anything, they were also sent to a specialist as I didn't want to drag her all that way for nothing, and he said there was just something very slightly different in the muscle of that leg, but not enough to cause the limp, so she was put on antibiotics that had to be stopped due to diarrhea. We have tried Metacam, she went from limping a couple of times a week to limping daily on that, so that was stopped and then she had Cartrophen jabs, which didn't seem to stop it, but didn't have any bad effects, she had a months worth (once a week), but as they didn't do much, she hasn't had another one. She was at the vets last week, as she is constantly demanding food, yet looked like she had lost weight, and she has - vet tried to say as it is only 400g since Feb, it could just be the weather, but with how much she is wanting to eat (and so getting slightly extra rations), she should be putting weight on, not losing it. She had had her yearly bloods in Feb before the limp, and everything was perfect, so she was wormed, and cos she had had slightly runny poo that morning and felt a bit gassy, given a Vit B injection and RC sensitivity. Wednesday night she had a bad runny poo, so picked up more sensitivity food last night and booked her in for Mon night. HAven't changed her food, she has Natures Menu and Bozita wet (which she has had for months) and JWB dry, which she has had since coming, as her owner had her on Go-Cat and she was sick a lot on it. She was playing of her own accord the other night, and still wants to go out etc, but is a lot grumpier than normal, she does keep goign for the fosters (when they dont do anything to her) and has taken to sleeping in my room, which is unusual. She was 13 when I got her last August, so I am classing her as being 14 this August, but in reality, she could already be 14.
Any suggestions??
