Nancy Milligan - 26 Aug 2003 00:04 GMT
My 10 year old siamese has been acting a bit oddly for a few days.  He seems
more lethargic and he doesn't like being touched down lower on his back,
like near the tail.  He used to loved to be petted on the back.  But he
snaps his head around, as if it hurts him and he might bite.

He had this happen once before and I took him to the vet.  Had xrays done,
blood tests, the vet even shaved his back.  Nothing was found, but he
eventually got over it.

Now it seems to have come back!  Any ideas on what might be going on?

Thanks,

Nancy

Probably hurt himself jumping at sometime.  Perhaps arthritis has set
in those vertabra.  Perhaps the Vet could give him something to
relieve the pain.  Best wishes to you and kitty.   MLB

You should definitely get him a check up and bring it to the vets attention.

I would definitely take him to a vet.  Maybe the first vet missed something?
Whatever it is, sounds like it's causing him pain.  Good luck and keep us
posted.
