I just noticed cornbread appears to have an injury on his leg. Also squishing the place where his paw connects to his leg (I don't think that's technically the ankle) seems to be a little tender and swollen. This sore is a little further up. It doesn't look all that bad. However I'm worried it might be a snake bite. It may also be an infection or possibly both.

Does anybody know? Should I just ride out the weekend and decide if he needs to go to the vet on Monday? It's currently raining so taking him to the vet now would require carrying him for about a mile in the rain. Doable but I'd rather avoid it unless necessary for both our sakes.

His foot is definitely swollen tho.

Cornbread has injured his back right leg. He is walking with a limp. I don't remember him limping earlier before I left but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

He's not acting like it's broken or anything. He's using the leg when walking but just trying to keep weight off of it and he keeps his weight off of it when standing too.

At worst I'd say it's a mild sprain.

I'll give him a week of rest and keep an eye on him. If he doesn't improve or gets worse then I guess that's where my Christmas money is going. He should be fine within a few days.

Also he hasn't used this house in almost a year so I know he really isn't feeling himself.

Cornbread has a vet appointment Wednesday of next week to get his annual checkup and okay I just got off the phone with the vet and Cornbread has an appointment tomorrow. Apparently the vet wasn't aware he was an inside outside cat so he had never been tested for leukemia or had the vaccine.

I have no real reason to think he has it but you never know.

Anyway I'll update everyone as soon as I know. His appointment is at 9:00 AM.

Looks like money is going to be kind of tight for the next few weeks but I don't really care as long as Cornbread is alright.
