Hello all.
Usually my family is problem free- but this evening we noticed Tenchi with a limp in one of his hind legs. I cannot figure out which one of his legs is sore giving him the limp and both feel relatively normal when i press my hand to them to feel beyond the fur a little.
My husband noticed he still wants to play, he's still eating, cleaning, just he doesn't walk very much and when he can he lays down. It's almost as if he's pretty uncomfortable but not in excruciating pain. The problem is its Saturday night and tomorrow is Sunday and the soonest we could get to an open vet probably is monday early morning.
I was wondering if there is anything I could\\should do until we can get him to the vet- I carried him up the stairs this evening so he wouldn't have to make the trip on his own.
He was laying in our bedroom on the floor and meowed once in his Call voice and so I went and brought him to my area at the computer whre he's now laying trying to sleep. I will proceed to make sure I carry him up\\down the stairs depending on where I go as he usually follows me around and prefers to be in my company when I am home.
If you have any other advice or tips until I can make it to the vet(i'm really guessing he may have hurt himself while chasing one of the younger cats up the stairs.. but Tenchi is only 2 and a half) I'd really appreciate it.. Thanks!!
