Cat can't jump

Good morning, new to the forum here, my 2 1/2 year old cat Roxy who does go outside came in this morning and can't seem to jump. I cannot see any visible problems. She's walking fine, will purr, but I picked her up gently and she let out a soft cry. I had to go to work, left her on the bed on her fave. blanket. Any thoughts would be great, she is a bit daring and accident prone, has had sprains in the paw before, but she won't stay in the house for all the catnip in the world.
Thanks!

sorry I may have posted in the wrong forum, I will search out other sections, thanks.

You did post it in the right place, just no one has had a chance to respond yet I guess;)

I think that you should have a vet take a look just to be sure there isn't something more going on than a sprain.:shrug:

Thanks Hunter's Owner, I spoke to my husband at lunch, apparently she was out scrapping with some sort of animal lastnight and he heard her jumping from the window ledge onto the deck and he got up and let her in. I will monitor her tonight as the vet will be closed when I get home and hubby will be gone to work, if she's the same tomorrow I'll book off early and get her in, thanks for responding, needed someone to talk to about it :)

Check for bites and tenderness. Bites can lead to serious infections very quickly and should be looked at by a vet.

If her belly is tender to the touch and she can't jump, she may have internal injuries, so you really should take her to a vet.

Thanks everyone, I called the vet on lunch break and they do have an 800# I can take her in over the evening if she is still the same. Was hard for hubby to tell, as she sleeps all day normally, and he went to work exhausted for afternoon shift, because she kept him awake all night :sad: . And I'm the one who wanted to rush her off to the vet on Thanksgiving Sunday for a limp and within a day she was fine. But, if she needs it, we're going!:thumbs up

She got up when I got home, ate and drank but went to the litter box, dug a hole and nothing..........I wonder if she has a urinary problem. I missed the night vet :sad: Hubby will HAVE to take her tomorrow if she stays the same, he loves them but is so tired from work and doesn't think we should run to the vet every time something happens. Being on opposite shifts is a drag when things like this happen, thanks for listening.

If she has a urinary tract blockage, she might not make it till morning.

She needs to see a vet right away. Is there not an emergency clinic? Prin is right, I would not take a chance by waiting.

Good News, she is peeing, I took her outside lastnight and off she went to the little garden I was digging on the weekend. I also got to speak with the vet and hubby is bringing her in this morning. She is eating, drinking, peeing and purring, and does have a small wound on her belly so we're getting it checked out today. Thanks everyone!

That is great news. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted:)

Thats good to hear.:thumbs up :)

Hubby took Roxy to the vet today and she's okay, just a bit of bruising and the wound is superficial. He said just to continue to keep an eye on her but she looks fine. We're always keeping an eye on her :) Thanks everyone for your caring.

Okay being as her name is Roxy,i insist on pictures.

Okay, I'll try attaching one, never had one it before, but will give it a shot, this is her "spectacular" shot, and to be fair I'll also attach a picture of Tina, she has the white on her neck, her "beauty shot" in the tree in backyard :)

Have to do Tina separately for byte sizes, I'm sure these are too big, but what the heck, don't know how else to do it!

Awww those are great.:cloud9:

Way to cute,those are great pictures..And i love the name..my girl is a roxy to.

Thanks, and hello to your Roxy! We are musicians, we have a song written and recorded for Tina, it's really cute, called the Teen Machine at http://www.myspace.com/chrisbrine We don't have Roxy's song yet, she is much more complicated, but the first line will be:
Roxy the complicated cat, always doing this and doing that :)
