New problem, nowhere else to turn till Monday

Hi again everyone.

I have a problem with Sally again. I got home from work today and she is limping on her good leg (for those of you who don't know, Sally has one bad hind leg already). She's being pretty nasty with the rest of the cats and seems to be in some pain. I have no idea what happened since no one was home all day long, whether she jumped down and twisted it, or whether her and Sam got into an altercation and she got hurt.

I dont see any bleeding or swelling of the leg, but it looks alot like the one that is already bad so I'm thinking maybe its dislocated??? I called the vet on call and all they said I could do is make an appt. Monday and keep her quiet. In the meantime, I have her secluded from everyone else (in the bedroom with her own things).

I know you all cant really do much. Maybe Im just here for moral support since Im pretty much stuck till Monday. It has been nothing but ups and downs with her and of course any little new thing that comes her way causes me a great deal of stress.

Isn't there an emergency clinic open somewhere? Or a clinic that is open on Sundays? It doesn't seem fair that she has to be uncomfortable until Mon.

If it were my cats or fosters, I would drive to the closest ER-24 hr vet. Here, that means a 3 hr drive - tho my vet will often be available anyway if she is artound (so I am lucky - I have her home no, ). Find the closest 24 hr vet and bring Sally in. Good luck and let us know how you make out and how she is!

Did you talk to the vet or to his answering service? If it was the service, make them page the vet. If it was the vet, did you make it clear she is in a lot of pain? At any rate, try calling back.
