Quoting: Blackhawk_Guy maybe you accidentally ran it over with the car and you didnt realize it She was all good when I brought her to my room tonight, I let her out to go potty while I had a cigarette and when I called for her she came back limping. I never heard a commotion so I'm kinda baffled. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73159314 United States 01/05/2017 07:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My vet gave me Tramadol for my cat after I had her fixed, so if you have access to any of that for humans, it's the same stuff. Just cut down the typical 50 mg pill appropriately. Excerpt from [link to www.vasg.org] Cats are dosed at 2-4 mg/kg (generally ¼ of a 50 mg tablet) BID (a few cats may become profoundly dysphoric and agitated). Metabolism is principally via hepatic biotransformation, with a small amount excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Side effects, though rare, may include GI upset and sedation. A 7 lb cat is ~3.2 kg, so at 4mg/kg, you are looking at ~13 mg per dose, or ~1/4 pill. see also [link to www.vetinfo.com (secure)] |

If you can't get vet help just put food/water and litterbox near, keep warm n cozy and on a comfy bed. Kitty may recover. I agree that it may have been kicked, unfortunately. Bastards, eh? |

Fuckin hate seeing animals in pain. I've got a couple of tips for you, Blackhawk. I worked at a cat rescue years back and I've seen lots of "problem health issues" with cats. 1. The vet is the best way to go...they can do an Xray to see if the kitty has a joint problem or has actually a fracture of some kind. 2. REmember when handling an injured cat--or any animal that you suspect may have a bone injury--WEAR HEAVY GLOVES when you transfer the pet into a pet carrier or box. Tho the cat may KNOW you are trying to help, they can and DO bite when the injury site is disturbed. I made a big mistake of cradling a cat who had a temporary pin in its hip that CAME LOOSE and the end of the pin went into the muscle when I applied a little pressure getting her into the cat carrier. She bit my hand and I almost lost my whole arm from blood poisoning. Even tho cats are SMALL and seem like they can't do any great injury--their mouths are extremely germie and infections from their bites are very common. So please be careful for both of your sakes. 3. Cats and dogs can have different kinds of conditions just like humans have--like arthritis or muscle-pulls. Could be minor...but might be something bigger. So it is always a good idea to not just "let it go" but see a vet right away. 4. DO NOT give cats or dogs human pain killers. Aspirin can be very harmful for cats. Do a little online searching and you'll find this to be the general opinion. These guys have their OWN pain meds that are made for their weight and species. Good luck! Remember...wear gloves!! Cheers! O'sCookie "Know ONE thing absolutely...and you will UNDERSTAND everything.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73783621 United States 02/24/2017 05:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Garage Kitty is 10-12 months old, medium haired cat that was abandoned and I rescued. Has done great for the month she has been here all until tonight where she has developed a bad left hip limp. Leg appears to be out of socket, any suggestions on reducing the joint? Quoting: Blackhawk_Guy Take it to the vet you cheap bitch. |
