Your cat's recent limping and weakness may be linked to her previous Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE). While these symptoms could be part of the old condition, they shouldn't be ignored.
- Old FCE symptoms may resurface or slightly worsen over time.
- Observe your cat's activity levels and note any changes in behavior.
- Consult a veterinarian to assess these symptoms further.
In some cases, the remnants of a previous FCE can cause sporadic problems, like weakness or limping, particularly after activity. It’s crucial to monitor these symptoms and consider a veterinary consultation to ensure your cat's well-being. Addressing these issues early can help manage your cat’s health and comfort effectively.
