Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lulu. I recommend she sees a veterinarian right away. She needs to be thoroughly examined to determine the extent of her injuries. She may need x-rays to look for any broken bones. Based on these results, medications can be prescribed to help her feel better. In the meantime, do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to cats. I hope this information helps!
