My 10 yr old female cat will not walk on her own.

Sent to Cat Experts July 26, 2006 2:26 p.m.

My 10 yr old female cat will not walk on her own. Matter of fact, she will just sit in the same spot all the time, unless I pick her up. I leave for work and when I come home 8 hrs later, she is where she was when I left. This has been going on now for a few weeks, matter of fact, since I took her to he vet to have her left wrist looked at as she would not put any weight on it. The vet put her in twilight to x-ray her, but the x-rays did not show any problem with her wrist. A cortizone shot was injected, but did not help the wrist. He told me that she has some arthritis in her right hip & injected cortizone there also. That helped a bit, but now, she will not move at all. She can stretch out & roll over on her back and even uses her back legs to scratch.....what is wrong with her? Why won't she walk?
