My cat is 2 years old this year, he had an incident a few months ago where he got his leg caught in his colar and after he had funny walk, this continued and still months later he limps. We left this to see if there was any improvments, but recently, about 2 weeks ago he came home with his other leg all cut and hurt, we assumed he had been in a fight, he would not let us touch him. Eventually we held him down while putting anticeptic cream on him and washing his wounds in betadine and water! We continued to do so for a week after, its now completely healed. But we have started to notice the past week or more that hes licking his lips all the time, and he drinks water but no more than usual and when he starts to lick his lips we give him water but he doesnt want it. He looks a bit poorly too now and we noticed hes been sick a few times now too, he sometimes only has to take a wrong move or jump in the house and it sort of just instantly shoots out from his mouth! I dont know what to do about it as i thought maybe it was sickness from eating too much food as he is a fatty!! and the licking was from being sick but now i know something else is wrong? could anyone give me an ideas as to what could be wrong, as the vets in Portugal where i live, are very expensive and i dont like going unless i have to, i will be taking him to vets but thought i would ask what you guys think could be wrong first?
thanks for listening.
