I'm waiting to hear back from the vet about me taking her in, her back legs are definately getting worse, I saw today that she literally cannot jump the fence any more, in front of me she literally had to drag herself up and over the fence, she just can't push with her back legs to jump

please dont make her die

Shes asleep by the laptop table now, she wants to stay on the floor not jump at all

Good luck to both of you.

Thanks liz im scared for her, cause Ebonys boyfriend Tom had a similar thing 3 months before he died, turned out his spine was crushing itself

Update: vet said its her hip in her good leg thats the problem, she's on pain meds for the next week then i taking her back into the vet on wednesday next week, he might need to do a xray to find out exactly what damage she's done to that hip, she's walking fine on it but cannot get up and down stairs without obvious problems

Willow, is it possible for you to arrange food, bed, litter box, etc so she does not have to go up and down stairs?

I been doing that but she wants to be where her meowmy is ❤️ cause shes a meowmys girl ❤️

Thats why she comes up and down the stairs, so shes with me (or Willow, if Willows going up or down the stairs)

I have three litter trays out: one in the bathroom downstairs, one on the stairs, one in the bedroom upstairs

Water bowls: one upstairs one downstairs

Food bowls: two downstairs, one upstairs

Maybe you could install a kitty sized stair lift? Sorry couldn't resist!

On a more serious note -
Would she let you carry her up/down the stairs? That way she does not have to climb them herself.
My vet does acupuncture and swears by it. Are there any vets around you who do acupuncture?

Good thoughts for you and Tigger.

yeah i carry her up and down the stairs but i am sure she comes up and down the stairs when i'm not here (when i'm at work)

Hope the pain meds are making your kitty's life a bit better.

Think she'll become a regular at the vets soon, so they can keep their eye on her with the meds she's on, cause they said previously that the metacam can affect the kidneys
