1 year OTJ, but now limping....

Hi! It's been quite awhile since I've posted as my Simon has been doing fantastic OTJ for about a year. However, yesterday after being gone all morning, we came home to find Simon limping badly on his rear leg. I assumed he hurt himself jumping off of his cat tree. But after googling this morning, I'm afraid it may be neuropathy. Does anyone have experience with this? I have a vet appointment scheduled for this afternoon. I haven't checked Simon's glucose levels in a long time. He's been his normal, happy self on his grain-free diet for the past year. He is still happy, eating, using the litter box, and does not seem to be in any pain. Ugh. I don't want to do insulin shots again!!!

 

I just saw this... I don't have any advice about neuropathy, but I would suggest posting on the main feline health board. It doesn't seem like this board gets much traffic. I have seen several threads mention neuropathy with specific advice given. You could also do a quick search and see what others have posted if you don't want to post in the main forum.

 

Hi there from Oscar and myself. Oscar had an incident with limping on his rear leg. I gave him some honey that evening & brought him to the vet the next day. He had a reading of 1.3 so the vet gave a double dose of something to sweeten. Initially I thought Oscar had neuropathy but this wasn't the case. bottom line, you may want to check with your vet. We are now more vigilant than ever about doing things right. I hope Simon's issues will be resolved. He looks like a sweet boy in the pic you have.
