Started GOOD.. Ended REAL BAD

I just noticed something that may explain her back paws.. Would like an opinion.

I first noticed it on the way to the vet that her left back leg/thigh twitches uncontrollably intermittently. I noticed it on the way to the vet yesterday and the vet did not think much of it, but then could not duplicate it either...Again this morning she was doing it again... Not not all the time. The right side is totally normal. Opinions please? She has never done that before yesterday evening.

Might be where she got a shot and it is irritating her.

Good point... Never thought of that... If that is the case, maybe it will work out in a few days... That may also be what is affecting her jumping and stability. Today, she is acting 101%... She has been incredibly playful, and even played fetch with me... Only thing she won't do is lay down and rest.... :rolleyes:

Kittens twitch... I mean, hell, watch your video again of her sleeping! I wouldn't stress about it. She was just near death's door and will need a week or so to recuperate. Looks like she's having a fine time of it as is!

Sounds like some temporary nerve damage as a result of the trauma. If she isn't experiencing pain, good to have her active and working through things so she regains some muscle memory. Additionally, I am sure she is still having an electrolyte imbalance but I don't know anything other than a kitten multi-vitamin or a children's product called pedialyte to get her back up to speed.
