Cat hunched over and walking slowly

Anyone been through similar? Totally fine all day. Out this afternoon. When she came back is walking at super slow speed (literally in slow motion) and is hunched with her tail low. Won't let me pick her up. Seems a bit weak on one of her back legs? Currently hiding in the barbie house which is somewhere she has never been! Obviously will take her to the vets but just looking for anyone who has had similar - what was it?

When my cat was similar he'd broken his pelvis - the vet thought probably in a fight and maybe fell awkwardly from a height, as no sign of being hit by a car (and he was a fighter).

He was on cage rest for 10 weeks. Not fun but fixed him.

Hunched is definitely a problem. Pease please please get to a vet x

Emergency vets for sure.

Hopefully it's nothing too traumatic, but she does need seeing asap.

Emergency vet , if it’s a # pelvis or similar she may have internal bleeding .

Sorry, I should have said - definitely emergency vet. Cats are very good at hiding pain - if they're not hiding it, it's serious.

How's your cat Pickled ? Hope all ok.

Update - it was a flea bite allergy! What a drama queen!
