Just under a week ago my cat Skye started limping. It wasn't much, just a small hobble when she got up after resting. We decided to take her to the vet on Sunday after it failed to improve and became slightly more pronounced. The vet examined her, felt her lymph nodes (fine) and manipulated her limbs a bit. She felt that Skye was showing a bit of tension on her left wrist and thought it was likely a sprain.We had suggested it might be something along those lines as we have very recently moved to a new home with carpeted stairs. Neither of our cats have ever lived with carpet or stairs and Skye got her claws stuck in the pile several times while going downstairs before we managed to find the scissors and clip her claws. Her kittens have also been very big and energetic the last two weeks and perhaps she overdid it playing with them. The vet sent us away with some Metacam for her. That was Sunday and it's now Wednesday. Skye is still hobbling after periods of rest, though with the meds it's not as bad. She will take two or three steps with a limp (still putting weight on both front paws) and then seems fine. We'll be updating the vet on Friday but in the meantime does anyone have any experience with this or have an idea as to what it could be if it's not a sprain, or, if it is, how long we should expect it to take to heal? Skye is otherwise eating and purring happily, jumping up onto counters and going up and down the stairs. She's not quite her usual self but she hasn't been for a while since she's been weaning her kittens this week and she's lost a bit of weight in the process, making her quite bony. There's five of them and they have massive appetites so I think she's struggling to keep up supply to the demand!
