So I have a 4 year old moggy who is a tiny wee thing but full of beans. She usually goes out early evening but always is back by 10ish to come up to bed with me.
The night before last (Thursday night to Friday morning) she didn't come up to bed, so I left the downstairs window open for her. I checked in the morning and she still wasn't home.
Mid-morning I see her run up the path to the house. Her gait was odd and when she came in she was clearly frightened. She went straight to her chair in my office and stayed put all day.
I was a little worried but figured she would be fine after a nap.
All last night she seemed spaced out, walking as if in slow motion. She had big, round eyes, even when curled up (i.e. not sleepy or blinky eyes) - Sorry my descriptions are crap.
She also started weeing outside of her litter tray. She also wee'd when my partner picked her up. She has never had accidents before now so this was very strange.
Her gait is odd, she is low and slinky. We noticed her tail was limp and her breathing was shallow and fast when she climbed up onto me.
We called the vet and got an emergency appt for this morning. My partner has taken her now and is waiting on X ray.
She is my little buddy and I'm stuck at home going out of my mind with worry. I was hoping that someone had any idea what could have happened or if anyone had any previous experience of this?
