Marian, Thanks for your thoughts. She is at the vet now and will stay until tomorrow. They are going to run a blood panel to see if it could be a liver shunt. The specialist said that was the first thing we should do for her. She will get fluids as needed and food taken very carefully. I was told the chip just goes right under the skin so it should not be a problem. We were told to keep her very quiet with cage rest in case it was a spinal injury. Her temperature was normal and the first blood work was normal. No signs of infection. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hopefully, I will know something by this time tomorrow. Carolyn Adams
