My outdoor female spayed cat was missing for about 30 hours, when she showed back up, she was not eating, just very little, not like her, no energy and her right side, both front and hind legs were not working properly. When she would stand, they will slowly slide away from her and she walks like she is guarding them. She just wants to sleep, not like her. She also seems spacey. I can not find any bites or stings on her, nothing swollen. We do live in the country. Please help if anyone has any sugestions. Thank you.

A lot of things could have happened to her while she was missing. You should take her to the vet right away. In the meantime, I would keep her confined to a small room, such as a bathroom.

Please keep us updated on your precious girl, alright?

It's hard to know what could have happened. Is she bleeding anywhere? Have you checked inside her mouth?

I would absolutely get her to the vet. Anything could of happened and although you cant see a bite, doesnt meant there isnt one there.

can you get her to a vet? Keep us updated

I am glad to hear she seems to be doing better today. I would at the very least contact her vets office to make them aware of what happened. They may advise you to bring her in for a check up to make sure everything is ok. It's better to be safe than sorry.
