[cats] i got home and Mishka is favoring one of her paws
papermint tiger
it's midnight, the only emergency vet is over an hour away
papermint tiger
she does not handle car rides well
papermint tiger
i really don't know what to do here
papermint tiger
i'm worried that if i call them and they want me to come up there now, she'll hurt herself more traveling
Un(t)sundered
if she seems her usual self otherwise, I'd say it's probably okay to wait until normal vet hours to call
Un(t)sundered
it's possible she just like
Un(t)sundered
landed on it funny and did the equivalent of twisting it
papermint tiger
update, i did call the emergency vet and Rowan said Mishka was acting normal last she saw
papermint tiger
so this may have happened within the hour
papermint tiger
we're going to watch her
papermint tiger
i just don't like how she's holding the paw... i hope it's nothing really
papermint tiger
this silly girl, existing to worry us i swear
RobotApocalypse
if she's otherwise acting normal and there's no obvious indicators (cuts, swelling, etc) then it's probably safe to wait til morning, yeah
papermint tiger
yeah, she just ate so i think she's feeling pretty okay, no obvious blood or anything else
RobotApocalypse
landed weird and sprained/strained it seems like the likely culprit in that case
papermint tiger
ah! she put her weight on it a little!
papermint tiger
yay! i'll continue to monitor her but that's a wonderful sign
RobotApocalypse
oh that's good!
papermint tiger
yeah, she's definitely using it a bit, and not yelling too much... i hope then it's jsut a strain
papermint tiger
this dumb animal, she often fails her jumps
papermint tiger
i knew she'd hurt herself one day
papermint tiger
I am seeing no improvement this morning so since my car is not in fact ready
papermint tiger
I guess I'm spending the day at the vet
papermint tiger
Kinda feel like I want to cry
papermint tiger
Today's gonna go great
