A couple of weeks ago our beloved 14 year-old cat woke from his nap, jumped down from the chair and came up horribly lame on his right hind leg. Long story short, took to vet who prescribed pain/inflammation meds but suspected a torn something I can't pronounce but is apparent feline equivalent of my ACL, and said to bring him back in a few days if not 100%. She called after 3 days and I told her he was modestly better, but not 100%, and she allowed me to use another 3 days of pain/inflammation meds.
After the second series of pills, he is at 85-90% of normal with a pretty good gait, able to run around the house, totally normal sitting posture, making his usual daily leaps on/off bed, chair, car, etc. and viciously attacking his toys. I am so grateful for a vet who doesn't rush to judgment or surgery.
