Okay so last night Trouble miscaculated a jump! he ended up smacking his face into the wall and it scraped his nose all the way down to his lip ( not bleeding and I put some neosporin on it) but it must have scared the heck out of him because he lost his bladder when he hit the wall (my poor baby) well anyway now he is acting all to himself and is not his usual playful spunky self....He even seems to not be as interested in food ( could this be because of the scraped nose & lip) well anyway I just wanted to know, could this have traumatized my Trouble? Is his pride hurt?He didn't indicate anything was broken ( I checked by flexing his legs and paws and such) but he just wants to sit down by himself??He did eat but just not much and he just isn't himself??Do you ladies think a vet visit is in order?I already called the vet and they said that he shouldn't hve been able t hurt himself by just a short fall ( plus the little smack into the cabinbet) but I think maybe I should still have him checked out! sorry this is so long...I am just a little worried about my kitty.

Leave out the "maybe" and you have what I would do!

He could be a little out of sorts still. Is he still not acting himself today? It's been more than 24 hours and if you say yes, I'd have him checked out too.

He is back to his normal self (Thanks God) although he is just a tad hesitant to eat ( nose and mouth are sore).But he IS eating!!
also does anyone know what I can do to help[ him from scraping the nose ( when eating or playing) and causing it to bleed a little ( not pouring out blood,it is a scrape but it seems like whenever it starts to scab over....he scrapes it or something and it bleeds a tiny little bit) I did make him a vet apt. for next week just to be safe
but he seems to be back to his normal adorable loving self
that I
so much!!!
