She has lite meow like she’s in pain and she’s breathing heavily. She still trying to walk but she can’t. I touch her hips bone she meow. I’m nervous. I can’t take her until in the morning. She’s in pain . I put her on a therapeutic bed . But she still gets up. She not available to use them . I thank god her mom still here ❤❤

There are walk in clinics but the lady said I would have other fees if something is wrong. I won’t have the money until tomorrow. I’m watching her every minute. I noticed it this morning when she playing with her siblings and she couldn’t keep up but she is tired but keeps going. Her mom feed her through her breast milk and she tends her as well .

That’s what I was thinking because she was walking. My daughter think her legs dislocated. Because of her hip joints. Ugh 😩. If a vet open at 1am I’ll take her . Until then I’m watching her . Thanks soooo much for responding because I’m about to lose it. I love animals I don’t like seeing them in pain believe me. I help deliver them.

I would put her in a small carrier to prevent her from moving on it anymore.
see if you can make an appointment for early tomorrow morning.

She has to see a vet, as you have said. Given the few hours difference between now and when you will receive your paycheck, see what you can do to get her into a vet. The article below has some assistance listed by state, along with a few suggestions. She is young and tiny and not as able to withstand this as an older animal might be. Keep checking for other signs of distress which would indicate that you need help asap.
