Oh dear! Please help! A friend of mine has cats outside and he pretty much just feeds them and speaks once in a while. They probably wouldnt get anything other than tablescraps here and there if not for me so the vet isn't really in my power because I really don't have the money so a possible answer and solution would be a heaven sent because I love these babies! Ok so the cat im talking about is maybe 2 to 3 years of age, male and very loving! He was noticed limping on one of his back legs about a week ago. He was holding it up completely, putting no weight at all on it. I figured it could have been anything seeing how he roams the woods all the time. I know there was no visible cut or blood from what I could see. I came to bring cat food and feed them day before yesterday and he was fine it seemed. Don't remember if he was limping or not. Not to my recollection. Last night he was laying in the carport in a small pile of liquid and I thought that strange being the cold weather and cats don't just lay in piles of liquid. I assumed he had urinated. I noticed he was trying to get up and I cried watching him because he was stumbling and it looked like his leg was a wet noodle or something. It was awful. I went out later and he was laying in the corner shaking. He can no longer even halfway attempt to get up. My friend didnt realize how bad he was this morning when he was leaving to go to work and saw him. He told me there may be a tick on his neck and i was relieved to think this was something I could easily take care of but I felt around as best I could and was unable to find anything although I may just be paranoid, it seemed as though I did feel a swollen area or something but no apparent damage to the skin. Could the tick have burrowed itself under the skin and would the skin still look normal if so? Or is this another possible problem? I was so disheartened that I couldn't help him. Hes always so lively and plays mommy to all the kittens the female cat just had and I've grown quite fond of "adventure cat" as I like to call him. I just want to make
