Title: Sophias Paw
Post by: SophiasMum on April 28, 2008, 21:44:00 PM
This evening a next door neighbour found Sophia down a big hole like great and she has been limping on her front poor.. she seems ok because she can walk it's just she's limping.

At the moment she is asleep and doesn't look well at all really and she has been growling which she has never done before...

Is there any advice as I am very worried.

Has her paw swollen up or does it look weird in any way? I honestly think you would be best ringing a vet and maybe sorting out an xray for her!

She is probably growling due to pain and you have to be careful she dos'nt go into shock as that sounds like an awfully bad fall! Good Luck!  ;)

She may have fell and hurt her paw or maybe her leg or joint.

If she is still limping tomorrow I would take her to see the vets.

As for her growling she is possibly in pain or just scared and upset.

I hope she is OK  :hug:

There doesn't look to be any swelling but the only thing am really worried about is if she doesnt go to the toilet because it is so important.

There would be no harm in you popping her in the litter tray if she looks like she needs to go.....one of mine actually holds her front paw up when toileting so hopefully she can cope!

No swelling....that is a good sign......Hopefully she is just sore but do watch out for any swelling!  :hug: :hug: :hug:
