Do not give Ronnie any medications without the advice of your veterinarian. Make sure she is warm and keep her as stress free as possible. Remove climbing branches temporarily to prevent falls. Blood work can be done to check uric acid levels to confirm or rule out gout and to assess kidney function. Other possibilities include metabolic bone disease (mbd) and a fracture.
