    When you say that Sable is hanging her head, do you mean as a horse does and as my Boo did? See attached pic. In this pic it appears as though he's looking at something but he isn't. He sat w/his head hanging like this and my vet felt that it was because he was in pain. The Metacam helps a lot but he still does it on occasion. I sure hope that your sweet Sable isn't in too much pain.

    No it's not quite like that. Also we do have her on pain meds. She actually is laying down with chin rested on edge of water bowl. It's like she's thirsty and doesn't want to venture too far. She isn't doing it all the time, but I hadn't noticed this until after the vet visit. I do believe it may have to do with the shot making her more thirsty. I didn't realize this until our vet explained it could have that effect.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Death thought about it.
