My 3 year tabby Diesel had surgery this past Wednesday for a partial tail apputantion. We got him home and he was doing great until Friday night he tried to jump up on furniture and his cone caused him to fall maybe 2-3 feet. Since then he’s been limping on his back leg. We immediately took him to the vet. They did xrays and laser therapy. They saw no broken bones or dislocations. We already had him on pain meds from the surgery so they told us to continue those. It’s now been 48 hours since the fall and he’s to be getting worse as far as no wanting to weight on the leg. If he gets spooked he will run. He will eat. He’s still not pooping since the surgery. Getting very concerned.

Three days ago we came home to see that our four year old cat was climbing the window screen and fell three stories onto a concrete pad. Following an emergency examination at the vet it turns out that her only injury was soft tissue damage of her left hind leg. She is in lots of pain and unable to walk. After her daily dose of metacam she tries to walk with a severe limp and lots of screaming so we have restricted her to a smaller space. She has been eating soft food twice a day as she will not eat her regular dry food. This all seems normal with her injury but my biggest concern is that she has not had any bowel movements or urination since the first night she was home and her water intake has greatly decreased as well... is this a sign to worry about or is this typical due to the stress, pain and medication?

My cat's tail got caught in a closing door. She didn't yowl when it happened, and she's lifting her tail straight up (as is her usual), and moving it with ease. She's also not licking the area, and has no issues with being active. What has me worried though is there's a small spot that's swollen, almost like a little notch. Not much swelling, and it doesn't seem to be throwing heat. I contacted a vet, and they said she's fine if she doesn't have any symptoms, and that the swelling is most likely from a contact bruise. Should I get a second opinion?

My 5 month kitten pulled a dining chair over onto herself. She immediately ran with a limp and has behaved as though shocked for a couple of hours. She is now engaging with her sibling again, but has a noticeable limp with her left front paw. She is not keen on weight bearing. I'm hoping she has only got soft tissue damage. As it's night I can't take her to a vet. Any advice appreciated! Thanks.

One week ago our cat got out and we could not get her to come in. She was out all night. I found her next morning in backyard huddled in a ball lying in the bark. There was blood on her chin and right lower jaw was swollen. Once inside, I couldn't see any other injuries. She let me look at her mouth and I noticed her right upper Caine tooth was broken with pulp exposed. Took her to the vets, they put her under anesthesia to take xray. No broken bones, fractures or internal bleeding. One broken Caine and a fractured molar. Worst 2 teeth for an animal to injure. Kidney functions were through the roof. We were sent home with pain meds and kidney medication. Been 1 week and 2 days, she slept a lot today, has barley eaten and has a SIFF gate in hind area when walking. We only gave her 1 dose of ursodiol, she was a mess 12 hours after giving it to her. She vomited, was stumbling over her back legs like she was drunk, ended up in an emergency vet hospital because our vet thought she could have a displaced spinal injury but emergency vet. disagrees. Wish she could talk to tell us what's wrong, feel helpless. She was so full of life before all this.

My cat came last night barely walking and didn’t eat or drink for over 12 hours, I took him to nearest hospital and they told me that he suffers from trauma, and they found a broken tooth plus swelling from his mouth. They gave him pain killers but he still doesn’t want move or eat. I m so worry about him! and still I didn’t know if got hit by someone or fall off something. The X-ray result came clear.
