Hi,
I apologize in advance for my English. .He is a 1.5 year old healthy scotishfold.But suddenly he starts to limping with his left rear leg, we went to vet they took an x-ray (actually twice), they found nothing.They applied some anti-inflomatary and just told to me ''may it is just a pinched nerve or strain on soft tissue, he gonna be heal on his own and be okay.Dont worry.''.After 1.5 months nothing is change he is actually not limbing its more seems like his left leg is a little bit stiffy when he walks ...I gently pushing to his rear left leg(directly from paw like he steping) to his belly while he is in supine position thus i can feel by his resistance to my pushing, its far weaker than right one.And when he sits off to one side- his right. He seems to be not evenly distributing his weight between his hind paws, as if he is trying to keep weight off his left paw.There is no other symptoms, he eats well, he is phsycialy abble to do whatever he wants...The local vet didnt make any palpation just took an x-ray, so i did a tibial compression test for checking cruciate ligament rupture, i am not a vet but with my limited understanding it isnt a cruciate ligament rupture.And i also checked kneecap dislocation, that's not the problem either.Currently in my location there is no other vet. So I cannot take another opinion from a proffesional.I upload his x-ray, and another cat photo(its from another topic at this forum) as an example for you to have better undestanding to the way how he sits, that cat sitting same with him.( unfortunately i cannot captured a good photo of him while he sitting). I’m just curious if anyone has ever come across this before? What should i do?.One of my friend suggest to me to take him to different city to see another vet and MRI scanning, but its quite expensive as you can imagine...
