Back to the Vet

When we left for work yesterday morning all the cats and kittens were fine and dandy. Breakfast was eaten, playing was going on. Things were good. But when Bruce got home from work first yesterday afternoon, the baby girl kitten was limping on one of her back legs. We were concerned but she was still eating and getting around a little bit. Not running wildly like usual, but nothing too panic-inducing. But by last night she was lying around, very lethargically. And worse, she was crying out in pain every time we touched her. We started to worry.

This morning our vet agreed to see her. Bruce took her. They had to X-ray but nothing was broken. Good news because having her in a tiny kitten cast would have made me so sad. Anyway, she has pulled or sprained something in all her girls gone wild playing. They gave her a shot of pain meds and sent Bruce home with more. Now we have to try and keep her from running and jumping for a few days until this heals. The vet warned that this might be a little difficult since the meds will mask the pain. But we will do the best we can. Just look at that face!
