Cat lameness – this is a vast subject if you want to get into real detail. This post is about how we use Traumeel for everyday can injuries and cat lameness.
However, often you can get slight lameness occurring in a cat which can just be the result of a strained and pulled muscle.
What I do in cases like this when suddenly for no reason I detect a slight lameness in one of our cats – before rushing of to the vet and getting anti-inflammatories etc I will attempt to locate the problem.
Locating the Lameness
Sometimes this can be easy, sometimes it can be quite difficult but if I am able to roughly locate the area I will then:-
Massage in/apply the Traumeel Gel to the suspected area.
Traumeel Gel
Many times I know I may not have applied the Traumeel Gel to the exact area but that is not a problem, for two reasons:-
- 1.) The traumeel will be absorbed through the skin
- 2.) The cat will also lick it off
So even when not applied to the direct area it is going to be absorbed into the blood stream and so start helping your cat.
For example if they are lame in the hind but you are not sure which hind leg is the problem or if it is coming from a strained muscle higher up the leg around their hips and pelvis I would then massage in the Traumeel Gel all around their hip area and both legs.
Then in addition give them Traumeel Drops in their food or water.
We have often done this and in most cases the problem has resolved quite quickly after one or two applications as Traumeel is such a superb natural anti-inflammatory for cats and other animals.
(If it is a more serious problem then you will be seeing your vet, but you still can use Traumeel either by itself or alongside other medications.)
