Meet Popcorn🍿
Popcorn is seeking rescue transfer due to a potenital leg issue. At times he will hold up his right front paw and limp, radiographs confirm there are no obvious injuries. There is no swelling or sensitivity when palpating the leg. He is receiving medication to help with any pain and inflammation, and what may be a potential abcess causing some of these issues. Popcorn is the most tolerant & loving boy even after all these evals from vet staff💙 He is the perfect patient😥

08/20 - Last dose of meloxicam was yesterday. This morning cat was holding up right front paw. Will stand with paw down, but will limp when walking, and then hold it up at times. Kennel staff reported some droplets of blood on his blankets when cleaning. Unable to visualize any wounds, but had a small amount of dried blood on lateral left leg stuck in his fur. No swelling on right leg, but has area of "loose" skin, no fluid palpated. Cat did not appear sensitive when palpating leg. Gave injection of Convenia in case of abscess starting. Restarting Meloxicam to reduce pain and inflammation. Will monitor and x-ray if no improvement.
