One of my 7 week old fosters is limping. She was also lethargic this morning with one slightly weepy eye.
I do not want to spend the rescue organization's money needlessly (even though I have the right to take any and all fosters to the vet whenever I think it is necessary).
Could anyone tell me if they know (for a fact) that this limping could be a symptom of something SERIOUS that needs investigating IMMEDIATELY?
After all, an active young kitten could have just sprained something in a jump or fall, and the lethargy could very likely be caused from my other foster litter who is recovering from a cold (even though they were separate, you know how it can transfer).
Thanks. I just don't want to rush to the vet if I don't HAVE to (I hope you don't think badly of me for that attitude)
