Gidget had her surgery just over 2 weeks ago for her Pyometra. At the time they put a catheter in her arm and she came home with it the night before surgery and had it in the following day for the surgery and part of the next day because they didn't think she would eat. She ate fine and they removed the catheter. After the catheter was removed she realized that the fur had been shaved. Since then she occassionally will shake her leg or hold it up when she is sitting. She runs, jumps and walks fine, it doesn't appear to cause her any pain, could it be she is concerned because the fur is missing and is just expressing herself or maybe asking for sympathy? I touched it and patted it and she doesn't pull away like it hurts, but maybe it is still sore from the catheter being in so long. Never had this experience before so I have nothing to compare it to and wondered if anyone had any thoughts. Hate to bring her back to the vet because she occassionally holds her paw up. She is really racing around the house and walking without favoring it, so I don't think it is anything serious. Just a concerned Mommie I guess.
