if anyone can help PLEASE do.. im going crazy.....
tonight when i got home from work Tink did not greet me and she looked depressed and not at all herself. her tail was barely waggin and i could tell something was wrong. then she walked away and i could see she was limping slighty. so i tried to give her a treat.... she knows she has to 'dance' to get one and when she tried to do it she collpased.... then i gave her it and watched her walk away.. she tried to jump on her chair.... collapsed again.. and then the sofa.... i of course started to freak out. i walked ALL OVER Williamsburg looking for an open vet.... along the way i stopped into my job to show my coworker and Tink wasnt AS bas as she first was when i came home.... she still cant walk up stairs or jump on her cahir or couch.... i am going to observe her overnight since she is not crying in pain or anything like that...
i'm scared it may be pataller luxation.... has anyone had an episode like this???? i'm scared for my baby.

I'm glad she's better!! Maybe take her in this afternoon anyway though, since it is the weekend, you don't want to get stuck again this weekend like last night.

I would bring Tink to the vet so they can give you some kind of lotion/medicine to alleviate the soreness and rawness on her belly. Whether she's back to herself or not, she must be in a lot of discomfort.

I'm so glad she is feeling better!

If it were me, i would still bring her in - if you can get away...

Poor Tink and poor you for worrying about her! I'm glad to hear everything is okay and that's she's feelin better - but her tummy, OUCH!!! OMG, I can't even imagine what that must feel like - If our babies had teeth while nursing from us, I don't think breast feeding would last long at all!! Hugs to you both - glad to hear the good news!
