Hello,
We recently took our 1 1/2 year old Abyssinian to the vet because she is experiencing periodic acute leg pain. This started in December - we came home one day and she was limping on her left hind leg, but seemed to recover in 4 or 5 hours. Since then, she has injured herself 5 times on the same leg - once she jumped up to play with my boyfriend, once she leapt off the bed, and then tonight she was just running normally when she all of a sudden experiences this pain, starts to cry, and hides under the bed for a few hours. The vet said it was arthritis, and we've been giving her glucosamine, but it just seems like such a severe pain, and she is so young. Has anyone seen something like this before? Please help! She is such a wonderful loving kitty!
