Chloe's leg has been twitching a lot more today. Her regular vet (and all the other local vets) were all booked today, so I had to take her to Banfied ($$$!!!). It's not broken or anything, and he felt her patellas and did not feel any luxation, but he said to do a thorough exam he'd have to sedate her and really move it around a lot (I guess that can be painful, hence the sedation). That and x-rays will be a few hundred dollars, so since she's not in pain right now, I'm going to wait a couple of days and see if it gets better, then I'll try and get her into her regular vet if we have to leave her and do x-rays. This is so strange. I hope it is nothing that plans on staying. She already is a fussy eater. Now every time she wants to crouch at her food bowl, her leg starts going berserk!

Please keep your fingers crossed that it was just a sprain from jumping or something, and that it will go away in a couple of days...
