She's gone weak in her hindquarters somehow. Doesn't want to stand up. No apparent pain. Started last night. Taking her in right now.

that's she's just scaring the heck out of you and it's nothing critical.

Thank you so much, All!

My gosh I felt sick I was so worried. It seems she has bruised her back, vet thinks she must have fallen on it. She has a very tender area right at the middle of her spine. No swelling vet could find, but Queen Eva winced quite a bit when pressure was put on that area.

I'm to encourage her to rest, and I have pain medication for her if I think she needs it.

Vet wondered if one of the other cats could have bitten her and I didn't think it likely but I am to watch for any swelling that would indicate an abscess forming.

Probably I could have waited a few more days and she would have been okay, but I am not one to wait and see on something if I don't know what it is. I feel much better having had her seen by the vet.

She's so clumsy I am not surprised really that this has happened. I've set up a litter box for her in the bathroom so she doesn't have to do the stairs, for tonight and tomorrow at least. Much to Mazy's dismay, heehee.

Incidentally her adult teeth are coming in so vet thinks she is older than originally thought. She's placed her at five months instead of 4 1/2 months now. She's still tiny though, only weighs 4.6 pounds.

Thanks for your vibes and concern, it means a lot.

Thank God it is something that she will get over with your TLC. She is so precious!! I know how you feel about Not procrastinating when it comes to your cats' health!!! She is very lucky to have you in her life!!!

We went out and voted and I rushed back here to see if there was any news. Thank goodness it IS nothing serious (it seems). You don't think she fell from the 2nd story, do you? I think you said you were worried about that possibly happening when I posted about Stinkpot jumping off the bannister. If she'd been bitten, the Vet would've been able to see that, wouldn't they?

Anyway, keep us posted on her recovery. We'll be anxious about her!

I want to say "what a relief" - but that doesn't sound right! I think you know what I mean though....


Continued for the Queen!

My first response when I read the first post was, "OH NO!", but I'm glad to see the vet seems it's just a bruise and she should recover completely. Keep us posted!

I'm glad it sounds like something she will recover from. Give her gentle hugs for me.

That was quite a scare. Many vibes that she gets well and that you are able to keep her from moving around too much while she's healing!
