Hi Everyone...
A new development with Pickles.
First of all she has a swollen third eyelid (says the vet). It looks awful and I'm giving her drops for it but it's not improving (since Thursday).
This afternoon she was sleeping on the sofa when suddenly she yelped and cried out. We thought she was having a nightmare but then her front paw was lame when she got down off the sofa and she yelped and cried again. She really looks poorly and I took her to the garden 2x for a wee but she just sat down and refuses to walk at all.
I'd say she sprained her leg but -- she was sleeping for goodness sake!! My husband thinks that she must have moved in the wrong way and hurt herself.
I'll take her to the vet tomorrow.
Any idea what could be wrong? I really don't see how, but, could there be any correlation between the eye and the lame leg? (That seems like a ridiculous question but she's my first cavalier ever and I just don't know what to do.)
