Last night, I was petting my 1 year old great cat, Spooky-Shadow and noticed her front legs were 2 very different sizes. I see her and play with her all the time, so this must have been new since I hadn't seen it before. The right front leg is swollen about twice the size of the left. I felt around, it was a little hard, but when I felt the bone I didn't feel any breaks or obvious fractures and she wasn't in pain when I was touching it. Later on the night, the swelling appeared to be slightly less, but from her elbow down to her paw is all blown up and I don't know why. My husband and I are in a horrible way with money right now and really can't afford a vet visit. If this can be treated by us, that's the way, of course we won't deny her of medical attention if that's the only way to help her. I can take some photos and send them along if need be, but I don't know how to post a photo on this forum. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to help my kitty, PLEASE respond or email me at NoJumpsNoGlory@aol.com. I held her leg against an ice pack last night for about 15 minutes, I don't know if that will help for a cat, but that's what I would do for myself. Please help me help Spooky!
