Sophie is Limping

We don't know why, but Sophie started limping yesterday, so we took her in to see the vet today. They had to sedate her and do an x-ray. She's been favoring her front left paw. The vet says that the toes seem to be curled up a bit on that foot. I told them that she had to be redeclawed after I got her because whoever had her first did a bad job. They said that could do it. They also said that if she jumps down from a high spot, it could be really hard on her feet since she's missing her front toes.

We forgot to update the blog a few weeks ago, but the vet also says Sophie is heading into thyroid disease territory. I'm still in denial about that one.

Poor cat.

So sorry to here that guys... were they able to give her something for the pain in her foot?

They gave her a steroid shot, which they said should help her out. But she is all drugged up and loopy now. She's trying to sleep it off. I wish I'd had them clean her teeth while she was sedated.
