She did it again...little minx...
 

I've just walked into the kitchen, to find Pandora coming *IN* through
the cat flap. It seems that even though the flap is quite a complicated
one, and on *IN only* (and bearing in mind that the other cats can't
work it properly unless it's set to the right setting for the direction
they want to go), it seems Pandora has worked out how to open it from
inside to be able to go outside.

Her back left leg is still bad. The vet said that she hadn't broken
anything and that she just had a really bad strain, but there seems to
be no improvement. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. Do I take
her back to the vet and spend a huge amount of money that I don't have
on tests that tell me her leg is strained and she needs rest, or do I
see how it goes? Under normal circumstances, I'd just get the tests done
for peace of mind, but I've already had to give the vet a post dated
cheque for Tiger's illness last week and the money is still not
available to cover it. :o(

She can walk OK without a limp, but it seems to hurt her if she runs,
and she has difficulty getting up the stairs. She's cheerful in herself,
is eating, using the litter box and (as i've just observed..) going out
in the garden OK.

So, some purrs for the little minx would be gratefully recieved, as
would some purrs for my negative bank balance.

Purrs for Pandora's leg to be not a problem.

Purrrs for healing.

Purrs up-coming for Pandora -- "be well" purrs added to "stay
home" purrs.

I'm not surprised that she still has some trouble with the
strained leg. It can take months to get over something like
that. I expect she will *slowly* improve, even if you can't
persuade her to give it the rest it needs.

Healing and financial purrs incoming.

When I sprained my wrist last year, it took over a month before it was
usable. Maybe this really is something that only time will heal.

I don't know if it's available to you, but you probably know I'm
cautious about alternative therapies. Nevertheless, I've heard enough
positive results, in musculoskeletal problems, to think that a
veterinary acupuncturist might be effective and possibly inexpensive.

Phoenix did something similar at the start of the year. He has only just
stopped limping and now jumps and moves just as he should. For a while he
couldn't even sit properly, and when on the top of the sofa back, he would
dangle the hurt leg down. Now he sits normally as well. Purrrrrs that
Pandora gets better soon.

I think that Pandora's leg needs some more time to heal properly. I just
wish she didn't know how to go out through the (in only) cat flap.
Lots and lots of positive bank balance purrs for you, Helen,
Polonca and Soncek

Thanks to everyone for their replies - it makes me feel a little better
that it is OK to leave her to recover on her own. I guess I am so used
to taking the mogs to their health professionals and getting their
ailments dealt with at once and fixed like yesterday, Pandoras injury is
new territory for me. :o(

I just hate to see my baby girl not up to par and in pain.
