We've had our cat for almost 18 years now and up until very recently, she has been completely healthy with no problems at all. Well for a while, my cat's claws never seem to retract so I clipped them and after this, she hasn't been the same. Since we have had her, she has never ever gone to the toilet in our house. She has a cat flap so she used to come and go when she pleased. However, now she doesn't appear to be going out, she is going to the toilet in my house and keeps losing her balance. When I say losing her balance, it just seems that her right back leg is the problem and she seems to be fine when walking, it's when she goes to lay down, she kind of falls down. And she doesn't seem to be able to get comfortable when she does lay down.

I have a vet appointment booked for her tomorrow but am wondering if anyone knows what could be up with her. She also keeps walking around the edges of the room and her neck doesn't seem to be as strong, for example, I picked her up and her head was resting under my neck. She would never normally do that. Apart from that, she seems ok and she is still eating fine. I'm just really worried about her.
