Hello everyone!
I've taken my cat to the vet multiple times. They've taken a lot of xrays to figure out what's wrong with him.
It's always the same conclusion: there's no visibility of pain.
He's prescribed gabapentin 100 milligrams every 8 hours. But he still howls whenever he jumps. His tail has been permanently down since 2/19. He has had other exams too multiple blood works and a urinary exam. Nothing has been found that would explain the back pain.
I've been massaging his back legs and he doesn't react, and he only reacts when I touch his tail bone. I touch his paw pads to see if there's any sign of splinters/etc. and found nothing.
How else can I explain the pain to my vet? I'm planning on telling then that maybe he needs his glands expressed? He doesn't show any signs of them needing so though. I'm all out of ideas.
Thank you all
