Poor Sphinx! She sounds like she is in pain! I'd definitely recommend taking her to see a veterinarian right away. She may have a broken leg or internal injury and needs immediate veterinary medical care. She will need pain medication as well. Please remember there are no safe over the counter pain medications for cats so you will need to have these prescribed by a veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I hope Sphinx gets the care she needs and is feeling better soon.
