Two weeks ago my cat Socks came back with a limp tail, if we touched it she would react in pain. We called up the vet and had her seen the next day, brought her in, had x-rays done... We went home with medicine so hopefully, her tail would heal. But also we were told "a limp tail is fine, a hurt tail is not," and "if it doesn't heal in two weeks it probably isn't going to".
So today, Socks still has a limp tail, and it still hurts. I'm bringing her back in tomorrow for a re-exam, but we're thinking she'll likely have to have it amputated.
This is apparently a pretty common injury in cats? I hadn't seen it before moving here, but now I have a cat with a limp tail and one whose tail is likely coming off. I wonder what causes it.
