my 9 year old cat waffles sprained/strained his right back leg while running, I took him to the vet they took xrays, and after 3 vets reveiwed them and $200 later they found nothing. they gave him some pain medications and thats about it. This happened about 1 1/2 weeks ago and still seems to be no better he does not put any weight at all on it and justs lays around all day. Does anyone have any suggestion? please help!

It's possible that there's a torn ligament. There are pro's and con's to pain meds. If they are on them, they will use the leg more than they are supposed to. I would talk to your vet and let them know it's not doing any better. If they don't persue it, you may want to get a 2nd oppinion.
