Hi Friends,
My neighbor says his indoor cat is ailing. He doesn't want to go to vet out of fear of being told to put the cat down. I told him he needs to go but he refuses. He says the cat made a jump a few days ago that didn't go well, or the cat fell wrong or something, I didn't quite get it all, and not right away, but a few days later and currently the cat is walking with a hunched back, and not walking well or easily. The cat is still eating normally, using the litter box, and NOT crying in pain when the area is touched. He said he even massaged it a bit. But he also says the area looks like its "drying up" (his words) like its just bones. Not sure if he means the muscle is wasting or what. Any ideas?
