His upper left leg started swallowing now it's all the way down to his foot going across his chest into his right


Swelling in a cat's leg that extends across the chest and into the opposite side can indeed be concerning. This type of swelling could arise from various causes, such as an injury, infection, or even an allergic reaction. Given that the swelling is spreading, it's crucial to keep a close watch on your cat.
At home, you can gently examine the swollen area for any signs of injury, like cuts or punctures, which might suggest an infection. If your cat is comfortable with it, you can also check for any heat or tenderness, as these are indicators of inflammation. It's important to ensure your cat is resting and not exerting too much pressure on the affected leg.
Additionally, observe your cat's overall behavior. If you notice lethargy, a lack of appetite, or if the swelling continues to spread, it would be prudent to seek veterinary attention. These symptoms could point to a more serious underlying issue that requires professional evaluation.
