My cat is limping and has pink pee. Should I wait or see a vet?

Question

Our cat is limping and has pink urine, but doesn't seem in pain. Should we wait to see if he gets better? What can we do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 4 years and 11 months old | 10 lbs

These seem like two unrelated problems, but I would not wait to get them evaluated. The pink urine is particularly concerning, because this indicates bladder inflammation and can lead to a urethra blockage; which is more common with male cats. It's best to have him seen by a vet within the next 24 hours, so they can find the cause of the limp and bladder inflammation; and give him the necessary treatment. I hope that helps and Barnabas gets better soon.
