So about a week ago we woke up to find our dearest little girl limping around the house. I took her in that morning to the vet and they told me she sprained her elbow and gave me some anti-inflammatory drugs and sent us home. Well after 3 days of drugs the limping had mostly subsided. But she is not being herself.
She is only a year and a half old and was up until recently a crazy playful kitty who loved being around us. But since last week all she does is lay around upstairs. She will come down stairs for a bit but then go back up and sleep. I noticed she wasn't eating and drinking as much so I took her back to the vet. They ran all kinds of tests kidney & liver function, urine analysis and FIV, everything came back well within normal and FIV negative. She was slightly dehydrated so the vet recommended we get her a water fountain to drink from and feed her wet food.
Well its been two days of wet food, which I have to basically sit down and feed her. And plenty of rest and she still is not herself. I am really getting worried about her.
She is an indoor only cat and has never gotten out or had exposure to other cats since we got her from the shelter as a kitten (she was born at the shelter). All her shots are up to date and before last week she was a happy healthy crazy kitty. She hasn't had any diarrhea or vomiting. We don't have any chemicals or poison laying around the house.
I have exhausted my thoughts on what it could be and was wondering if anyone else has ever had a similar problem.
