What's wrong with my cat?

I did a little research for you. Here's the question asked along with the answer.

Question

i hve a 4 year old female cat, she is spayed, needled etc.. indoor(mostly) does go out to do her "duty". about 2 weeks ago, all of the sudden, her left leg will bother her, it would make her jump, then it settles down and she licks the leg as she is licking it, it could hit her again nd she jumps. At first i thought that she may have fleas but she doesnt seem to itch herself in any other spo than the left leg, but the way she acts its as if something bit her. She is like our child and this really worries me. Oh and after these episods, it seems to really tire her out. Thank ou in advance for your help. Trish

Well this is something a vet would have to evaluate. It is pretty hard to say what could be causing this. One thing could be some nerve pain or pain in her knee. Cats can get a nerve pain that is called neuritis and it is very painful. It can run down the leg (like from the sciatic nerve) or go across the back, which makes them twitch and run around.

What you are describing sounds like the same type of pain. They will lick the area to try to relieve the pain.

Your vet can give her a look over and then an injection for the pain. Don't give her anything at home as it could be toxic.

She needs to be seen. I wish I could tell you more.

Let me know what you find out.

By the time you notice a difference to your cat's habits the cat has been in misery for particularly a while. No method to inform what is unsuitable of path, vomiting is a symptom of many matters, feasible poisoning. The prognosis demands to made by way of the veterinarian. To do? Go external and get the cat into the apartment. Take the cat in to the veterinarian ASAP.

A couple things that I think about for much or describing are either low blood calcium or magnesium, or for some reason you as having blood clots travel to her back leg. I seen catheter this young developed fairly significant heart disease and this type of situation would have blood clots trauma from the heart to their back legs. This is painful and occurs but can get better if it's a small clot. It's probably best to have a veterinarian examine your cat. This is something I would not wait on either.

Poor kitty. I am not sure what is going on, but I highly recommend taking her to her vet right away.

Best of luck!

aaww thats terrible....u should take her 2 a vet right away
