Jasmine limping after desex

Yesterday I noticed Jasmine limping slightly, so i checked her feet and legs
but nothing. She is indoors-only and doesn't jump around a lot, esp. as she
is a bit 'owie' at the moment with her wound. Today, she has a pronounced
limp, and it seems to be painful for her to walk on that leg (back left
leg). I am taking her to the vet on Thursday to get the stitches out, so I
will get her checked, but doesn anyone know of this happening? Would she
just be limping because her scar is pulling, or would it actually be her
leg? Bit worried, but she lets me know when she's in real pain, so I'll wait
and see.

Purrs that it turns out to be nothing.

Weird; my news server didn't get the original post.

Purrs for Jasmine.

We had a cat that was very sore after spay surgery and the vet did not
send home pain meds. This lasted a day or two. She would start to walk,
then sit down like it really hurt.

How long has it been since the spay?

I don't think it should affect one leg like that. If it's not better
tomorrow, you might want to get her checked before Thursday.

Good luck,

Rhonda

Thanks Rhonda!! She was desexed last Tuesday, and no pain meds were given
for her either, so she was in a lot of pain the first few days, and is still
walking a bit carefully. I checked her leg all over and there is no
hardness, heat or swelling, so I am guessing she has either jumped down off
something oddly to avoid hurting her wound, and sprained something, or one
of the children have accidentally hurt her. She is still walking, and does
seem better today, but is just favouring that leg. I will ask the vet
tomorrow, as she doesn't seem in pain, so I am thinking it is only minor.

Is it possible they used that leg for the IV, and the needle
bruised a nerve a little?  (Sometimes when my doctor's nurse
is careless drawing blood, it will be a bit sore where she
stuck the needle - and cats' veins are amaller than humans'.)

That's possible. I will have to ask> Thanks for that suggestion!

Purrs for Jasmine, I'm sure she'll be alright.

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for it to be nothing serious,

Thankyou :) It doesn't seem to major, I am probably worrying too much.

Well, of course some cats (like some humans) tend to
dramatize themselves.  I remember the morning after I
brought Tigrita back from the vet - she came rushing to
greet me and beg breakfast, then stopped suddenly and sort
of limped toward me with a pitiful expression on her face.
You could just see the wheels turning:  "Hey, I'm supposed
to be an invalid!"
