I was adjusting my projector last night, and I use a bunch of heavy books to hold it up. Last night I was doing this my 13 week kitten was near me, and they accidentally fell on her. She started meowing a lot as I removed the books, and she just layed there with all her paws and legs spread in weird ways. I was immediately scared that she became crippled or paralyzed. I picked her up and moved her to a more comfortable place in my bedroom.
She slowly moved to a loaf position. I gave her a bunch of treats which she ate. She slowly then got up and moved around. I called the emergency vet, since this was christmas night, and they said she may need x-rays. I watched her for the next few hours, and I noticed when the books fell on her she pooped a little and had some stuff on her back. I wiped it away. Later she went for the litter box, I placed her in it and she pooped, she got out by herself. She did play gently with a few of her toys, but fairly gently. She then hid underneath a empty bookshelf where she slept for most of the night.
Now morning, three hours ago I gave her food, and she ate that up, she seemed to be able to walk fine and used the litter box a few times by herself. I called my vet and they said she should be fine, just shocked. She was able to jump on my chair and get on my legs to sleep. She does seem a bit lethargic, but she could just be tired, and has still being eating a lot. Just horrified how she initially was due to her legs initially seeming paralyzed, and her meowing so much.
Thoughts?
