Cat Dragging One Back Leg

Legs giving out or collapsing.

Cat dragging one back leg. Although there can be a number of causes one of the most common and painful in cats is a saddle thrombus. In mid-january i suddenly noticed my 13-year old non neutered male cat fuzz as he rose to get off the bed. Do not be afraid if your cat.

Weak and stiff back legs in cats can come on suddenly or more gradually. Hi yes my cat Gwynnie had something happen that sounds very similar about 4 yrs ago when she was around 5 months old. Often these cats are very painful screaming in pain and the foot will be cold and without feeling when we pinch it.

If possible have a second person help hold the cat in place on the way there. Care should be taken when transporting the cat so as not to cause further impairment or injury. She was hospitalised and they x-rayed but.

The inability of an animal to move or feel one or more legs is referred to as leg paralysis. A friend of mines cat passed away from a saddle thrombus and she said it was a living hell until the time they got to the vet and had him put down. It turned out to be a back problem possibly due to him having landed badly after a jump.

Try your best to soothe your cat and keep. But a saddle thrombus causes intense unrelenting pain and very cold back legs and paws to the point cats howl out from it. My cat is almost 8 yrs old.

A sudden dragging of its legs means you should take your cat to the veterinarian as soon as possible. When leg paralysis occurs in a cat it is in need of urgent veterinary attention. I started him on glucosamine for cats.
