  Hi all! I’m a little bit worried about my little one Dumble. She’s 9 months and spayed. We had some teething problems at the start as she is quite boisterous but since being spayed she has been a dream. Loves running and jumping around the living room, hopping up on the sofa and sitting on our shoulders watching T.V. Last week we noticed she was limping so we brought her straight to the vet. She had torn some ligaments in her front paw. Apart from kicking up a fuss at medicine time she seemed herself, still jumping around and in good form. However the last few days her behaviour has changed out of nowhere. No running, no jumping, no Binkys ?. She’s eating and drinking fine and her poop seems fine she just spends all her time out of her cage lying down stretched out. He head is up and she seems alert. Everything I’ve read online says this is a good thing and it means they’re relaxed. But I’m worried about how much lying down she’s doing and no playing. She’s not our happy little baby anymore. Has anyone experienced this? I’m reluctant to bring her back to the vet as she doesn’t seem I’ll and the car journey stresses her out

  Did she get pain meds for her food? Is she still on them? It might actually be a good thing that she is taking it easy so she doesn’t hurt her paw even more. Ligaments take a long time to heal and then to be a little painful. I would make sure she continues to eat and poop and she looks generally bright and alert.

  Yes she was on pain meds for a few days but she has finished them now. It only seems to be since she has finished them that her behaviour has changed. It was a battle to get her to take her meds though, it took two of us to hold her and syringe feed her and she would become very distressed. I’m wondering could that stress have something to do with it?
