My cat is still limping and in pain after a vet visit. What now?

Question

Hello. 3 weeks ago we took our cat to the vet for urine crystals, he also had a sore leg. The vet physically assessed him and said there was nothing wrong. He was treated for the crystals and we changed his food. 3 weeks on, he is still limping and now is visible pain. He still uses his leg, baring a little weight and it is NOT limp. we don’t have the money right now ($100) for a vet to touch him again. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Wall-W It sounds like you all have been through a lot! I do not think the limp has or had anything to do with his urinary problems. Causes for limping are: torn ligament, luxating knee cap, fracture, abscess, hip dysplasia, back or neck pain and many other things. I'd try to call your Vet to discuss that he is worse with the leg and see if they at least will prescribe pain medications. He does likely need to be recheck and maybe X-rays taken to help determine what is wrong. Cats are very sensitive to medications and can not tolerate human pain medications. I hope this helps and I wish Wall-W the best!
