Boots, my 5 month old kitten liked to go outside in the evening to
chase bugs and stuff, he would come in and out about every half hour
with stories to tell.  Five days ago he went out and didn't do his
usual in and out, So I went looking for him, even had the neighbor out
of bed opening tool shed.  Finally three hours later and me yelling is
name all over the neighborhood, he comes up on the back deck.  His
dragging is back leg.  There is no open wounds but he appears alittle
in shock.  Called Vet to get answering machine, though he did call back
6:30 am next morning. Laid on floor with him and during the night he
started purring and curling up and relaxing. I took Boots in and they
did Xrays, his leg is not broke. The vet put a splint on it for a few
days.  Boots eating and personality is still going strong. Yesterday
they took splint off leg, still not using it today, legiment they feel
maybe streched.  Has anyone had this happen to there kitty and do they
eventually get to using theleg?
