Still no definitive on what’s causing Steve’s weak and painful back end. The med he gave him did not help. Actually, I’m glad I asked for only 1/2 dose. Glad it’s out of his system.

He’s still walking bad and it still hurts him, but he’s not screaming like before. He purrs and headbutts when I pet
him. He eats, drinks,and uses litter box. That’s a good thing.
He still feels swollen on left side and both his legs or hips hurt but it seems his left leg is worse to walk on. Personally, I think he may have fallen off the cat tree.
Or tried to jump from top and landed wrong or hard in his hips.

I saw him up on the highest spot last week and Bubbles bothering him from the spot below. I moved Steve to the couch so he wouldn’t fall.that was just days before this all started.

If it’s a torn muscle or ligament that’s going to take a long time to heal. Sad cause he’s so old, I hope it heals fast. But he
seems happy enough, not like this weekend. All the pressing and poking and manipulation at the vet for X-rays may have really aggravated the issue.

On a good note, his bloodwork came back all good!!!??? No kidney issues at his age??! Amazing! He has to get past this cause otherwise he’s well. He does have a heart murmur though, but vet wasn’t concerned at his age. Steve will be 18 and 4 months on July 27.

Keep the prayers coming!
