Thank you.
Specialist and vet that has seen him say surgery is an option which will be major and very risky. They say it is an old injury and he may have had it for years and is one tough cat and has just coped and compensated and has had a flare up.
I’ve decided not to go down the surgery line.
I’ve been keeping him in doors and restricted his movement and he is walking a lot better.
He’s eating, toileting, groovy, and drinking.
I taught him how to walk on a lead when he was a kitten so I take him out in the garden a couple of times a day.

Thanks Sarah.
Yes it was totally a shock.
All they said is you can take him home keep him inside to limit his movement and they will call me when the specialist has responded. She also said that they are so surprised that he is walking.
He’s only ever been to the vet for vaccs and he had a tummy upset when he was younger and that’s it.
I’ve only moved to this area recently so I’m trusting this vet knows what they are doing.
I have also contacted the vet that he went to originally when he was younger and they said they will provide a second opinion once I get the specialist report back and copies of x-rays.
He is just acting so so normal. Eating, drinking, cuddling, he is walking and definitely not at all as wobbly as what he was two days ago.
Anyways, thank you so much for responding and I will keep on posting with updates. x
