I know her life is difficult as it is - will she be able to manage without the use of a paw?

I really truly had no idea what happened. Basically, she was fine last night at midnight when she had supper. At 7am this morning she wasn't using her paw. Whatever happened did so in those 7 horus.

Now, the vet said that if it is a temporary thing....she probably just landed wrong (you know, blind cats take death defying leaps off lord knows where all the time....good luck stopping them! ). He compared that possiblity to you waking up after sleeping on your hand.

The other possiblity is that she got stepped on, got her foot shut in a door, or who knows what. Now, I've got an 85# dog & a 55# dog that could've stepped on her. Or she might've been playing "footsie" under the front door when dad left this AM (he said he never saw her this morning)....and had her foot slammed in the door. If that is indeed the case....she won't ever have use of her paw again.

With everything Damita has been through in her life, I am confident that she'll take this in stride. If it comes down to it, I will make a decision that might be needed.

I just got home from work, she's curled into a tiny ball under mom/dads bed....I am not going to disturb her until it's suppertime....then I'll be back to let you know if her paw is functioning at all or not.

Her paw is definately better tonight, I'm positive. She is now setting it flat, whereas this AM it was always curled under. I'm daring to get my hopes up. My girl's a fighter.

Poor baby! I'm praying she will be ok and have the use of her paw! Please keep updating us so we know too.

I hope she keeps improving

What a sweet wonderful girl! I was going to ask if she was diabetic, but it sounds like an injury now.

Poor Damita! Major recovery vibes for her!

She's such a pretty girl too! And like a queen she eats at the table!!

Im sending that it will heal nicely!

No improvement from last night to this morning, I was hoping she'd have more use of the foot.

Somehow she's figured out how to get into the big rubbermaid tub I use as a litterbox. I set her up a small one on the floor & she won't use it. She's also getting onto the table to eat by herself.

Well at least she figured out how to get into the litter box and on the table!
I really hope she gets more use of it!! Love the new Siggy of her by the way, its cute! Healing coming her way!
