Wise Old Thumper
About 5 weeks ago, Squidgy developed a limp on his left front paw. He had also lost a little weight.
Vet examined him, and could find no obvious reason for the limp and suspected possible soft tissue damage or arthritis.
We treated with metacam for a week, as advised by the vet, but with no improvement. Then a 28 day course of Lapizole to eliminate EC as a cause.
He still has the limp, but is fine within himself and is eating lots, including porridge.
He had a steroid injection yesterday, and we're hoping this will help. Squidge is at least 7 years old, but we've no idea of his history, so he could be a lot older than that.
We're just puzzled really, and hoping we can get to the bottom of this.
