Hi All. I just found this site in hopes to find an answer to my cat issue.
I adopted a young cat from the Humane Society of New York about 2 months ago. He's now about 11 months old. When we first got him, we saw that his bilateral end is somewhat higher than his front end. It's almost like he's a hotrod ..... his back legs are longer than his front legs.
In the past few days, he seems to be having trouble walking normally. He doesn't seem to be in any pain. Still running around (more of a hop) and playing with our other cat. But when he runs, he looks more like a rabbit then a cat. He seems also to be walking with a bit of a limp in his back legs....
We are worried that he might have hip dysplasia, but he seems too young for that. We are thinking that maybe he's just awkward and he's growing into himself. We just don't know.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
