Fluffy is struggling at the moment to move her entire left side appears to be giving way when she does attempt to move, she's been propping herself up using skirting board to move in the area she's made a home at.
I've put down hay and water in this area for her as that's at the other side of the room and I doubt she would make it.
She was off her food last night so was syringe fed and given zantac, this morning was no change so was fed again and given zantac, I thought she might of been off balance then but didn't get long with her as had to get to work so I may be wrong there.
I came home at lunch to check on her and hit her with the front door as didn't know she was directly on the other side hunched up. She did appear to be off balance then but I thought it was just the shock of been hit by the door. Anyway she was fed and given Zantac again and I rang the vets who told me to bring her in straight away, was seen within 5 mins of calling. She's been examined and was given gut stimulant to take home with me, didn't mention I'd hit her with door as wasn't really showing signs of struggling with movement.
Got home after work to find she's no different still not eating and now struggling to move, I'm assuming I injured her with the door but could just be coincidence as I'm slightly convinced she's was struggling before this.
I'm still syringe feeding her every 3 hours since I got home at 4 pm and now leaving her until about 0330 to try get me some sleep and her peace and quiet.
Any ideas what else could be causing those kind of mobility issues? I've checked her all over she doesn't respond to been probed in her left side so don't think she's injured from the door. Will be getting her back down to vets tomorrow for further tests, just keeping get comfortable for now.

I can't really offer much advice, I'm sure that there are many reasons that this can happen. It could be some sort of trauma or maybe neurological? My boy Hiro lost mobility and kept falling over when he had his inner ear infection. Does she appear to be in any pain?
