My 1yo Calico, Cali, has for the past few days had a very perplexing problem. It all started two nights ago around 1am. She starts wailing in pain and hissing, and hobbles off, favoring her back left leg. She hides under the table and moans in pain. I didn't know what to do at the time, so I just stayed up with her. After about 10 minutes she seemed normal again and I went to sleep.
The next day she was completely normal, purring, playing and eating fine. Then again that night around 9pm she starts wailing in pain and limping on the same foot. Again within a few minutes her pain was gone and she was normal again, but I still grabbed her and took her to the vet that night.
We get to the vet and aside from the fact that she's scared of the new place, she acts normal and is not limping at all. The vet takes her back and proclaims he can find nothing wrong with her. He gives her a pain shot and sends us on our way (with a $135 bill to boot).
She was fine through the rest of the night, but this morning around 11am she starts to get in my lap and suddenly jumped away in pain and again begins crying. Here it is 11:25 and she's acting fine again, but I simply don't understand what is going on.
Cali is a polydactyl with 7 toes on each front paw and 5 toes on each hind paw. I asked the vet if she potentially had an ingrown toe nail, to which he said no.
Any ideas at all??
