My cat is limping on his back leg and growling?
My cat keeps limping and growling. Poor boy must be in pain. He's just sitting here beside me crying. I don't know what to do! I'm home alone and have no way of reaching anybody. My cousin will be back from her walk with her baby soon, but she doesn't have money or a car so she's no help. Nobody helpful will be here till 3am! I've tried to google it, but I have no money for a ******* taxi, and my goddamn town doesn't have ******* buses, so I can't get to a vet. I've tried seeing what's wrong but he'll only let me pet his head, not touch his body, and definitely not his leg! I'm freaking out! I've brought all his stuff in my room and set up a spot but he only wants to sit on my pillow, on my bed. He shouldn't be on the bed, he'll have to jump on and off for food and the litter box. It doesn't look like his leg is swelling, but I can't really tell because of the fur. And he keeps staring at me and crying, and growling, and hissing, and I keep petting him, and purring at him and talking to him and it works for a moment then it doesn't. He won't let me leave his side, I try to get up and he cries and tries to follow me. I don't know what to do. Help me please. Help him. Please.
My cat is limping and has a patch of missing hair on the back of the same leg. Whats wrong?
No one here can diagnose your cat remotely. Even a vet reading your question could not determine the cause of the problem without examining your cat and it is highly unlikely that there are any vets here and anyone saying they are a vet is likely lying. Any "diagnosis" you get here will be no better than a guess. Your cat needs to be examined by a vet. A basic vet office visit exam should cost between $35 and $55 dollars. That is not much for the type of exam it will buy you. The vet should do a full exam of the cat, nose to tail, and look at any specific problems. You can tell the vet not do anything that will add to the bill without your prior approval. Do a Google search on : "low cost" vet cats city state Put the words low cost in double quotes as I show them and replace city and state with your city and state. You may find some low cost vets in your area. Check with the Humane Society, the ASPCA (RSPCA if you are in the UK), and the APA (Animal Protective Association) and see what they charge for a basic exam. There is a charitable vet service in the UK called PDSA, here is their eligibility page http://www.pdsa.org.uk/eligibility.html
My cat is limping and his left back foot/paw is swollen. he was fine this morning.. what could he have done?
Hes an indoor cat, i have 4 other cats, i know there's nothing stuck, his pads are fine, and i really doubt he was bit by anything. he'll let me touch his foot but he wont let me move it too much. I doubt its broken cuz hes able to move around. hes a very active kitten but has been sleeping all day so i know hes in pain. I think it might be a sprain????

Why is my cat limping on its back leg but feels no pain?
Cats are notorious for hiding their pain. Take it to a vet ASAP! You are not the cat; a limp DOES signify pain. It could be anything so please have it checked out!
My cat is limping and cries when I touch his back leg...?
I would say it's either a broken leg or a pulled muscle. He's probably in a lot a pain which is why he's hissing at you when you touch his leg. A vet is necessary at this point as it's not really easy to treat something like this at home. Good luck and I hope your cat feels better soon.
My cat is limping and growling?
My cat is 4 years old and he usally goes outside from time to time. When I let him in he came in limping on his right paw. He was laying down and it seems like hes uncomfortable and when he gets up he growls as if he's in pain. I don't have enough money to take him to the vet. Will he be okay? I'm really scared for him.
My dog is limping on its back leg but feels no pain, what causes this?
Like the others said, you can't know how much discomfort your dog is actually experiencing. If this a new sudden onset problem, then yes, a visit to the vet is wise. If it has been ongoing for a while, the possible causes may include additional possibilities from what is mentioned below, or exclude some of these.Is he/she completely non-weight bearing on that limb, or does he/she still touch the ground while ambulatory? This can help gauge the range of pain it is causing, but regardless, an orthopedic exam (simple manipulation of the limb to determine any true pain and limitations in range of motion in all directions). An xray may be suggested, and/or an anti-inflammatory medication, based on findings. Xray is ideal and worth the $$ if injury is suspected.If left unexamined and untreated, it may cause secondary pain/weaknesses in other limbs because those other three legs are bearing the load of what the affected limb is slacking on. Then you have a dog who favors multiple limbs and experiences pain more so.Limit the dog's activity and if possible, confine him/her to a crate or very small room for as much of the day as possible. Try to prevent the dog from jumping on and off couches, beds, or other higher up areas, including in and out of the car. Outside only for bathroom breaks and maybe 5 to 10 minutes max of walking outdoors if this is a high energy pup. You will likely receive similar advice from your vet, so start now with restricted activity, and get your dog examined as soon as you can. In case there is a fracture or a tendon tear or dislocated knee or hip joint, any of these injuries should be treated/managed appropriately to avoid lifelong problems. Sometimes early signs of Lyme disease and some other systemic pathogens can cause limping because it can activate inflammation in the joints and throughout the body. This may or may not be accompanied by fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, etc.That is my contribution from a veterinary technician point of view - a Veterinarian can give you the accurate diagnosis.
What do you do if your dog is limping?
I would recommend a trip to the vet.About five days ago I noticed one of our cats was limping. The back right leg was the affected one. He’s not the most graceful cat, and I didn’t see anything obvious, so I figured he might have just twisted his ankle or something.The next day he wasn’t limping as badly, but his foot and lower leg were swollen. My husband investigated (much to the cat’s disliking) and noticed a discolored area between his toes. It didn’t look that bad to me, but I know cats hide pain well and I didn’t want him to get an abscess or something, so I took him to the vet.He somehow had managed to slice open his foot between the toes. It was already pretty infected. They shaved and cleaned it, squeezed out a bunch of pus, and gave him two injections and pain meds to take at home. I’m supposed to take him for a recheck in a couple of days, and I’m thinking they might have to put him under and actually excise the dead tissue, because it’s still oozing a bit. We’ll have to wait and see.Anyway, when things get ignored, they often get worse. That’s the point of my story. If I’d taken him in right away, things might have been easier to treat.
