My cat hurt her spine last week. I'm not sure how but I assume it was from a fall. She has been in a lot of pain. I took her to the vet right away and they X-rayed her. They said there was no fracture and that her hips were in place but that she probably had damage to her spinal tissue. Since then she has not seemed to get much better. Her limbs seem weak. She can walk ok but is obviously in pain and does not want to play and mostly just lies around in awkward positions, cries sometimes sadly, doesn't want to be held will nip at me if I try to touch the sensitive parts. I am so worried that she is still in some much pain. Previously she was VERY active and playful. What can I do to help her?

I found a small kitten on the road. She maybe two months old. Her right leg just dangles and she drags it when she walks. She doesn't seem as tho it hurts her at all. However she has a small abrasion on that leg that dangles. I've had her for about a week and she really isn't pooping, and even stimulating isn't helping. I think she may have pooped once or twice after her tramp. I found her in the middle of the road dragging her lower body. She is defentley stronger now, but i just dont understand her leg. Please any advice wouñd be awsome.

On Thursday when I left for work, Samson was fine doing all good normal things. When i came home from work he was having trouble waking with his back legs. I immediately took him to aemergency room which did not help at all. I took him home and watch him all night. On Saturday morning, he seemed to be improving, but not a lot. I took him to his vet who have me a prescription for steroids because it sounded more to her that he might have trauma to his spine. I have an appointment to have blood work done in a week. His waking does seem to be getting better, but is there a way to tell if he is feeling better? He is still eating, drinking,and using the litter box. I just think I am so worried that i am reading into every movement, but i don't want to miss any signs.please help.

My cat had a litter of kittens. Most of them came out with minor defects, 2 with twisted back legs and the other can not walk with its legs or crawl. It looks more like it's rolling and like it's twisted to one side. To me, it looks like the spine is curved along the neck to that one side. Would she ever be able to walk?

My kitten Mercedes is almost 3 months old and had diarrhoea a few days ago so I added some pumpkin to her food later on in the day she vomited and we then took her to the vet. He gave her 3 injections and some oral medication(I’m not sure what they were exactly but he said something like a dewormer and an antibiotic and a drip) some was injected into her leg but some along her back. When we returned home she was drowsy and limping and I called the vet but he said this was all side effects of the medicine. A day later she could barely move and was shaking uncontrollably. The day after her whole body was limp, eyes barely open and unable to control her bladder. We picked up the vet and he came and took a look at her gave her some oral medicine and another antibiotic. It’s been two days and Mercedes is still unable to walk or stand even with support, make sound, has tremors and will shiver uncontrollably as soon as she’s out of a blanket or eat and I have to force feed her with a syringe and even then she only takes the bare minimum. I’ve been trying to give her wet kitten food but it’s nearly impossible to do so so I give her milk right now. I’m beginning to think that the vet might have injected something into her spine and thus injured her because she was no where near this sick when we first took her. And to top it off I come from a small town with only one vet so I can’t even get a second opinion. I don’t know what to do and I feel like my baby is slowly dying on me. Any suggestions ? Especially on what and how to feed her? I will greatly appreciate any help I can get 😭

Hello everyone, I have a cat named Peanut, and she was a healthy and vivacious little being. However, yesterday, someone in our complex had beaten our baby badly. They chipped her tooth, fractured her face, and caused a spine dislocation. She was able to drag herself to our door step....and luckily my bf heard her deep moans and cry for help. She had cuts on her face and was dragging her feet. We took her to a vet, and they told us she has no sensation in her lower half. I paid $500 in medical bills and medicine and that is all I can afford; they believe she would be a good candidate for surgery.....but I am a college student and cannot afford to do so. Regardless of all the doctor's diagnosis, she kicked her two legs last night. I have hope, and she did not consume food or water for 12 hours. She finally did after midnight. She cries in pain, but it seems like things are looking hopeful. She hasnt done the restroom and that is what concerns me. I might have to take her to the vet, but I cannot afford to anymore. I feel like she can pull through this. She is a fighter....got her from a pound and ever since...she has pulled through. I know some people might find this weird, but she inspires me.....she was my strength when I had my own troubles in my life. I just hurt that I cannot do better for her, and just seeing her suffer saddens me because I am her fur parent. I am to do all that is possible for my little P-baby.

My cat was out for the day yesterday she has come home and won’t let anyone touch her tail, hissing and growling. She is walking fine but she is obviously in pain with it, I’m taking her the vets this morning. Does anyone have any ideas what will happen

I have a very young rescue kitten. (~6 months) who very suddenly sways, stumbles and falls in her rear legs. No trauma is known and is a 100% indoor cat. We do have a tall cat tree. I took her to the vet, they did Xrays and sent to a specialist and they see no clinical issues. She is pretty constipated though. I've bought pet insurance, but it'll be 2 weeks before it kicks in and doesn't cover pre-existing conditions. She's happy alert, playful, doesn't appear to be in pain. Vet says heart rate is fine.

My kitten jumped into a food bowl and my dog bit her somewhere in the head or neck. She lost a lot of blood. Her condition has gotten a lot better in the last six hours. We called two vets and they both said to just keep an eye on her condition. She is awake and breathing fine. She keeps moving her head back and forth and it seems to cause discomfort for her to move her head to the right. She tried to walk earlier and stumbled around. She doesn't move her body much.
