France in Focus

We've noticed that Sherlock isn't able to jump up. Today he tried to jump onto the bed and he fell backwards.

He always liked to jump onto our laps whilst we sat on the toilet (bit annoying) and he's stopped doing this for a couple of weeks.

The other noticeable thing is that he doesn't hold his tail up now.

He hasn't lost weight and is eating which must be a good sign

I'm just hoping it isn't a problem with his back or hips, as a drooping tail suggests.

Poor baby

How old is he now MOTM2?

Good luck for tomorrow to both you & Sherlock

Perhaps he's put something out in his back - he could have landed or jumped badly. I hope the vet sorts him out.

8 months now

Just that very active age when he couldn have done himself a mischief,finger crossed

Best of wishes for tomorrow - could he have broken his tail? Ours did a few years ago. It mended perfectly after a couple of weeks and some medication.

Good luck for tomorrow.

Hope all goes well with Sherlock, and that it is a minor and correctable problem.
