Luna: vomiting and weakness in her hind legs; very worried!

[moosmom]

Oh Kirsten, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to watch our furkids go through stuff like that. You and Luna will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted.

Thank you for keeping my girl in your thoughts! You know she means the world to me!

She's really hungry! She just got another portion, and she RAN to her food bowl, with her tail high in the air, and now she's begging for food again is trying to open the sliding door of the kitchen cabinet where the cat food is stored. I really realyy hope this weakness in her legs will go away!

Poor Luna
We are Praying for Our Dear Friend and hope that whatever is bothering one of Our Truly Great Cat Ladies is gone soon.
We wish we could bring Luna something from the King's Buffet. We bet that the Smoked Salmon and Skewered Chicken would make her smile.
Please Get Well Little Fraulein Luna!!

Kirsten, you must be relieved hearing what the vet said. It might be someting entirely different, like she hurt her leg at some point, or arthritis perhaps? Has she been very active before this happened?

It's a good sign that she is hungry, so I hope she'll be OK. Sending lots of positive thoughts anyway.

(((Hugs)))

Thanks, Gary and Randi!

Well, I remembered that when she got her shot at the vet's this morning, she fought and for a second, she stood up on that leg. She got the shot into her butt (on the left side), I was thinking that - since she was struggling - the nerve in her left leg may have been affected (I remember that I often had a nerve pain in my leg after butt shots), maybe it's just that. However, I saw her licking that part a while ago.

Kirsten,
You must be so worried. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Two things came to mind re: wobbling. 1) the shot location and it causing some temporary pain/nerve tingling. 2) the vomiting...maybe she is totally fatiqued by the loss of energy?

Whatever it is, prayers coming to you 3!

This is exactly what I was going to post. My RB Puddy had a vomiting spell and she was so weak from it that her legs wobbled and once she even collapsed. Or it could be soreness from the injection. Either way please know that prayers are going up for you both right now. Keep the faythe.
