Hello all,
I recently adopted a little cat from the local shelter. I sent her to the vet 4 days later to be spade. The vet checked her out, she had blood work done, as well as a stool sample. I noticed since she came home, that she holds her right front paw up while sittng, and seems to not want to put weight on it, as well as the right leg paw. Her first few steps after sitting she seems to limp a bit, but then is alright. The clinic gave her all the vaccines she needed, the vet said said she was healthy, but just had to put on some weight. She is eating well, has good stools, although a bit on the wet side, and she does have some slight discharge from the eyes, though very minor.
Thing is, I have already spent over 250 dollars for the adoption, and I just can't afford, at least right now, to bring her back to the vet. The poor thing has been through the mill the last few weeks,and that's also another reason I don't want her to go back right away. Has anyone out there experienced anything similar? I played with her last night with a shoelace, and she was all over the place. It just doesn't make sense.
Any input greatly appreciated.
