Re: Advice re. an elderly cat
Claire, I would definately take him to the vet
Is it worse after he has been lying down then gets up or is it worse after he has been mobile on it?
It is possibly arthritis brought on by the extreme cold but you really do need to get it checked over and then if it is your vet can prescribe some painkillers that are also anti inflammatories to help with the inflammation in the joint.
If he seems happy in himself despite the sore leg then fair enough but if he is moping about, off his food then you must do what is right for the cat and make the ultimate sacrifice of your feelings for his comfort xxx (sorry sweetie).
