Emma had to go to the vet yesterday, several days ago I noticed that she was licking at her left back paw, alot,
I think she stepped on a scorpion, and it must have made her foot numb and tingly, it is swollen from her licking at it so much.
The vet gave her a cortizone shot, and some antibiotic medicine that I have to give her 2 times a day for a week.
I never let Emma or Louise outside, and Muffin stays in too now, I think this happend on the screened in porch..
Emma also lately has been chasing Muffin, they run thru the hall and rooms, I am not totally sure muffin likes it, but she's not hissing so I guess she's ok with it.
Last night, Emma was up on a chair and Louise looked up there, and was going to jump up , and Emma jumped forward just a bit to warn her away!!! I was surprised and bothered by that. I felt bad when Muffin was left out from their play, now I feel bad for Louise...I have noticed they don't sleep in the same spot anymore , and Emma hasn't been playing with her, but I thought it was because shes been lethargic this week, but then she chased Muffin... :confused:
and when Louise doesn't have her, she whines for attention more...
any ideas or advice? my vet gave me the number of a cat behavorist, I think I will try calling.
