Taking Viv up the vets later, she's not weight bearing on her front paw - hopping about like a tripod, poor thing. I can't see any wound and from the way she's carrying it, suspect the issue is in the actual leg rather than the paw itself.

Fingers crossed it's nothing major, May.

Cheers Vet reckons some sort of soft tissue injury, which was my guess too. Painkillers and the dreaded house arrest/bed rest for Viv. But at least no cone.

Donut is an equal opportunities sloth

Bloom came in this morning and I thought his general array of whiskers was splendid.

Saw a friendly black cat near Turnpike Lane this morning, eating a scrap of something or other. He let me stroke him but unfortunately was scared off by a loud van before I could get a pic.

Akiro is such a handsome cat

We bought a house for our stray Mr Best / Bestie and have it in a nice sheltered spot in the garden, we added something to read and some soft furnishings/art/family photo to make him feel more at home with his new Ma and Da.

Akiro and a fox

i got sworn at by one of mum-tat's foxes when i did a bit of gardening at her place over the weekend

 

[Numbers]

But he prefers to be inside

 

[hitmouse]

My parents have just got a new one with similar fur to that (and so presumably to Misty and Zoe as well?), hoping to be able to visit them and post more pics in the near future.

As promised:




She's still new and very skittish, hence why I totally failed to get any pictures of her looking relaxed.

strong "and who the heck are you?" vibe here...

Hmmm, not sure really. She's eating and using the litter box okay, and spending even more time than usual asleep, but the limp hasn't improved at all. In fact it looks a little worse, and she seems more listless (albeit hard to tell with such lazy animals she could just be bored).

I think we will try and take her back to the vet tomorrow. I know she only went on Tuesday, but I'm worried she's in pain or feeling increasingly crappy and don't want to leave it over the bank holiday weekend.

If she's been given medications (injection or at home treatment) and you are not seeing any improvement at all yet then it seems very sensible to get her seen before the bank holiday if you can.

It is a long way upthread now, but when my Jakey recently injured himself he had an injection at the vet and 5 days of Metacam (once a day on his wet food at dinner time) and there was a very visible improvement by day 3, so yeah I think at least phone the vet to see what they suggest - they might say give it another few days, but it won't hurt to at least phone and ask.

Best of luck to her

 

[May Kasahara]

Yeah, she's had painkillers and loads of rest, I think it should be at least a bit better by now.

She didn't help her case at the vets though by running around normally on the limping leg Apparently it happens a lot, instinctively hiding weakness when they're scared.
