Cat Leg Injury
Snowy is limping this evening.
There are many different causes of leg injuries in cats.
- Traffic accidents.
- A fall from a high location.
- An infected bite wound.
- A deep cut on the paw.
- A burn on the paw.
- A fractured claw.
- A damaged or infected nailbed.
- Arthritis.
- Hip dysplasia.
- Thrombosis.
I am not sure why Snowy is limping, there isn’t any outward evidence of injury and she is still wandering about the farm, or should I say limping about the farm! Her limp has not put her off moving about or eating for that matter.
Sometimes leg injuries will stop after a short time and the cat’s leg appears to be ok again.
I will keep a close eye on Snowy’s leg and if her limp doesn’t disappear in the next day or two then I will take her to the vets.
Come on Snowy get well soon.

Hi Sara. I must have too much time on my hands.
I was thinking about your little white guinea hen and came up with a couple more suggestions for a name for her.
I was thinking she is a guinea fowl. guinea= 1 pound and one shilling. Shilling would be a good name. Then I thought shilling is Stirling money, therefore Stirling would also be a good name. Like I said, I think I have too much time on my hands! lol

Hi Nikkipolani,
Thanks for your good wishes - I will tell Snowy that she has been described as sweet. I have to say that she does have a sweet nature.
Thanks for your comment.
