Get a Hamster!!

Is the Putty-Tat back to herself yet matt?

Think she's gonna be bad again She has been bad since the first time, another course of predisolone from the vet sped-up her recovery, but the vet did say if it keeps happening from time to time, it may be best to just let it heal naturally.

It's just old age I think. Touched he lower back before and she cried, also, she has been clawing to jump on the recliner etc instead of jumping, the tell-tale signs of it coming on again.

Gonna get the underfloor heating back on in preperation for it, the heat is good for a quicker recovery it seems.

Not looking forward to the next week if she is bad again. Fingers crossed she won't get any worse than just a lil bit of pain this time. It's horrible because she tries to continue life as normal, walking/running/jumping, but simply ends up in agony everytime she does everything, then hit's a point where she can't move at all for a day or so. And everytime the pain comes she looks at me!

We all age and have many ailments associated with this. It sounds like the vet is trying to build up your cat with steroids and it seems to work short-term. Cats enjoy just lounging around and like to be left alone when they are ill. You are a good carer, she knows you look after her well. Have you tried wrapping up a hot water bottle in one of your big fluffy jumpers and making a comfortable (warm) bed for her to rest on? I hope she find it cosy and homely. Also I gave my cats warm chicken soup when they were under the weather.
