I have one feral named Splotches who I haven't seen in a while. I took a trip and I was gone for a week. My sister continued to feed the colony until I came back. She doesn't keep track of who comes and goes so I don't know how long she was gone for.

I came back on the 28th and I haven't seen splotches until today (the 2nd) I thought this was odd because she's a resident on my porch. She came back today and she's limping. She won't use her front right paw and I'm wondering if she broke it? She is currently sitting on my table outside. It seems like she'll put weight on it while she lays down, but not while standing. The front paw seems a bit swollen? I'm not sure. I can add photos tomorrow.

If you can trap her and get her to the vet, it might be best.  Who knows how her paw got hurt - she may have cut it and gotten an infection or it may be sprained or broken.

Either way, she needs attention.  Glad she has someone who can take care of and worry about her.
