How old is she? It could be a lot of things do you have an ER vet available? Getting her to eat and drink at this point is a must. Has she eaten yet today?

Yeah I would separate it out with a fork and make it into a soup with the juice. Can you touch each section of her back to see if she has any reaction? She could have thrown out her back. How about peeing have you seen her pee lately?

She sounds like she really does need to get to the vet. She could have also ate something she shouldn't have, had a stroke or could be having blood sugar issues. She is a little young for the stroke but the rest is possible.

Well my other cat who's wicked bigger than her jumped on her this morning. She was walking fine for awhile but when I got back home thats when I noticed she isn't walking right. We gave her diluted tuna juice and a little tuna fish she ate a little and drank a lot., and I read as long as they eat and drink that's a good sign. Could she have pulled something or bruised herself maybe when he pounced on her?

Sorry this is his sister, I didn't read your convo... but I think she hurt herself and being nine and a senior I think maybe it really messed her up. I've been diluting the tuna juice with water and  she's sleeping now.

Yes she could have injured her back when she was jumped on. Do you have a heating pad you can put on her low back area? I'd put it on Low. Unless she ate 1/2 the can Im not sure she has eaten enough for it to be a good sign. If she is not walking properly soon she really needs a vet.
