Woke up this morning and Merlin was limping around on his front right paw. Gave the vet a call and they're closed today and tomorrow and if we took him in we'd have to cough up $150 just for the visit.
Well his limping has improved dramatically throughout the day so I'm not AS worried, but I'm still REAL worried. He's putting weight on it, he can run if he wants, and he can still jump and climb...but he really favors it. I hope it's just a sprain. I'm assuming he wouldn't put any pressure on it if it was broken, right?
I forgot to mention I found a teeny piece of litter stuck in the pad of that paw and that's what I thought was making him limp... so maybe he's just got a sore pad? I've been keeping him in his kitten cuddler and he's been sleeping most of the day... his poos look good and he's eating and drinking like a kitten, which is any minute he's awake lol.
Any advice as to how to nurse him until Monday? Thanks everyone
