Wise Old Thumper
Well, Squidgy again.
He developed a limp on his left front paw just over 10 days ago. He has been to the vet (twice!) who has given metacam and expected it to clear up within a week. She can't feel any swelling, or feel anything that may be problematic so suspects soft tissue damage at the moment.
He is doing everything normally, eating and moving about (although we've blocked off anything that he could jump on) - he even snuck past us and ran up the stairs the other day:roll: He's not drinking excessively either.
If it were just the limp, I wouldn't be too worried, as I would expect it to clear up soon. However, he is slowly losing weight as well. We are giving him extra food, some critical care and he eats lots of grass.
Could there be any link between the two?
