Pet's info: Cat | Turkish Angora | Female | unspayed

Hello, my female cat was in heat and she kept yowling loudly while we were sleeping, when we woke up we realized she jumped from the balcony and apparently was sexually abused by a male cat, i am really concerned because right now she is very silent, looks very depressed, can't walk properly and doesn't want to eat and she pees herself,so could you please tell me what should i do.

She may have injured herself when she jumped from the balcony. Also is she was bred the male may have bitten and scratched her which could cause an infection. Either of these things could cause her symptoms but regardless it sounds like she needs veterinary care right away. They will examine her and perhaps take an X-ray to check her rear legs and check her for a fever. When they know the exact problem then they will give her the appropriate treatment. Good luck with Linda. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.
