I have a 3 year old bengal girl and he least favorite thing in the world is taking a bath. After a dust bath outside on Sunday I decided to give her a bath (it was warm that day). After the bath however she has been exhibiting some lower back problem and I don't know what's going on. Here is what I've observed
1. She used to love being patted on the back, especially the the part near her tail but now when she touch it, even gently, she'll meow very uncomfortably and
he button will drop to the ground
2. She used to love lay on her sides on the carpet. She still tries to do it now but displays discomfort when doing that.
3. When walking all of the sudden she'll stop/freeze, her back muscles will twitch/move toward the middle, meows uncomfortably, and she'll arch her back downward
4. She can't jump high like she uses to but can jump onto my bed
5. She's eating fine and walking fine.
6. Her litter box looks normal and her eyes are still bright, still very curious about things.
So what I saw the most was the lower back discomfort, arching her back (while stop walking).
Can someone tell me what could possibly wrong with my kitty? Could it be the bath that I gave her? All I did was holding her under her front paws preventing her to jump out of the tub. Does it seem like that she has a injured spine?
Please help!
Thanks!
Dorothy
