Last week Hiro fell on the ground, probably from the kitchen counter. My boyfriend heard a strange noise and he said that it looked like his paw was stuck to something when he fell.
That mornign he walked strange with his left hind-leg. It was like it popped to the outer side during walking. (When he takes a step with that leg) That's the best way to explain it. That's why I drew it.
lol I called the vet that morning, and we made an appointment for the next morning. She told me that incase it gets better I could always cancel the appointment. I had this idea that Hiro was in pain, even though he was still running, playing, being hyper, etc, etc.
When I got back home Hiro seemed to be fine. His leg didn't made that strange movement anymore, so I decided to cancel that appointment.
Now it's exactly a week later. The cats have been on the balcony today, playing, and as he walked inside I saw that strange movement again he does with his back leg. I had seen a few times the past week, not that much as usually, but I thought it would go away. He doesn't do it all the time, but then again, we aren't always home.
So, I'm doubting whether to go to the vet or not. It doesn't seem to bother him. But I'm this kind of person that goes to the vet with every small thing, no matter if I have money or not.
So I'm thinking of making an appointment for Friday, because that's when there isn't really anything important at school that I might miss.
But what could it be? I've been touching it, squeezing here and there on his leg softly, stretching it, moving it, carefully, but it doesn't seem to hurt him. He still runs, plays like crazy, climbing, and stuff. Yesterday he had an bad day. He slept a lot, was a bit grumpy, I'm just keeping an eye on him. He started to become more vocal tho, but that happened before he fell off the counter.
Since he doesn't it all the time, should I call the vet? Yes/No?
P.S; I think it happens after he jumps off something.
He was high in the scratching post a moment ago, but he jumped to the floor (2meters) and made that strange move again.
