Re: Timmy


Yes - he definitely looks lop-sided and not right. Any vet worth his salt would be able to tell that something's off balance.

Nae - I would get him seen again asap if I were you.

Re: Timmy


Yes - he looks lop-sided. It may not be be a break etc - might just be pain making him hold himself in a strange position.
Poor little chap

Re: Timmy


It's the right side that's the problem. He's got such thick fur aswell, he's so cuddly and fluffy.

Re: Timmy


Back to the vets Naomi ASAP I would say it is hard to diagnose cats wspecially young ones they are so active its hard to tell sometimes I think a day or two makes all the difference,
