Our cat was taken to the vet recently because he had trouble walking from his hind end. The vet took an x-ray. He has arthrits in his joints more by his back legs more on the right side than the left. He is an 11 pound persian and hard to handle. He is on Predisone and two shots per week of Adequan for 5 weeks then he will have to have a shot once a month. He urinated on the way to the vet in his carrier. We used a pet shampoo did not eliminate the smell all together, but helped a lot and we thought after a few days he would take care of himself. Problem: he mostly uses the litter box a might. Since we brought him home on Thursday I have found that after he urinates his leg is a bit wet. This also happened shortly before we went to the vet but to a lesser degree. I don't understand what is going on? He does use his box yet he urinates on himself. Yesterday I washed the bedding, the blanket he lays on, etc. I'm sure the smell has to carry through the house. My nose is not what it use to be. I'm not sure what we can do. We can't have him twisting and turning. We are worried we will harm him. He is a persian with long hair but I'm thinking this would still be a problem if he had short hair. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Sherie
