My 9yo cat has a history of septic arthritis (prior to when we adopted her) that damaged her right front leg joint. She generally favors the leg and we try to treat the pain.
Yesterday she tried to climb down from my daughter’s bunk bed (she won’t stay off it) and I guess landed badly. She now refuses to put weight on the leg at all.
Our regular vet is closed weekends and our local emergency vets are incredibly busy. Can this wait until our regular vet opens tomorrow or would you try and get her seen today? I’m worried the stress of an emergency weighting room for several hours would be bad for her.
