Having problems getting in and out of the litter box or
going up and down the stairs can be a common occurrence for older cats or cats
that have had past injuries and still favor the healed leg. Arthritis is the
common cause for joint pain and inflammation which can slow your cat down.
However, if your cat is young and has not had previous injury but is all the
sudden having mobility problems then you may want to give your vet a call.
There could be a number of reasons for this, but you want to make sure it’s not
anything serious like Degenerative Joint Disease or DJD. This is also known as
Osteoarthritis and it is a long-term disease that causes the cartilage around
the joints to slowly deteriorate. Your veterinarian Roanoke, VA can help
examine your cat and find a diagnosis and treatment solution.
