I tried to hold her, but she didn't want me to. She went straight to her bed. She NEVER lays in her bed. She's always with me.

Right now she's shaking like crazy, too. I've got her covered w/ a towel & a down comforter, but she's still shaking.

I tried feeling around & she seems to cry when I touch her back, right above her tail. Every time she moves or I try to pick her up she cries. When I put her on the ground to see if she could walk, she walked a few steps & each time she moved her legs were popping. She wouldn't walk by herself at all.

We called the only two ER vets in our area & neither one was any help. The first one was a total butthole and the second acted like he didn't want to even see her. He said keep her comfortable & bring her tomorrow if it's the same.

All she's doing now is sleeping. I keep checking her eyes and everything, but I'm really worried.

Any advice???

That is scary, and I'd be furious at the ER vets too. I don't have any advice other than to keep her from walking too much. You'd think the ER vet would prescribe an anti-inflammatory or something. How about calling an out-of-area ER vet and seeing if they give you different advice. You might be able to use that information to talk your local ER vet into doing something sooner. Or maybe the out-of-area vet will tell you not to worry until tomorrow too.

The good news is, these guys are incredibly resilient. My 4-pounder had a fall of about that high not too long after he'd had leg surgery. He whined but showed no signs of injury later.

Good luck, and definitely get her to the vet tomorrow if there's still any pain at all.
