The symptoms you're observing in your cat, such as difficulty using the back legs, hips dragging, and a loss of balance, are indeed concerning and could indicate a serious issue. These signs might be related to neurological problems, spinal injuries, or other musculoskeletal conditions. It's crucial to address these symptoms promptly.

While there isn't much you can do at home to treat these symptoms, you can help ensure your cat's comfort and safety. Keep them in a confined area to prevent further injury, and avoid stairs or high places where they might fall. Make sure they have easy access to food, water, and a litter box.

Given the severity of these symptoms, I strongly recommend seeking immediate veterinary care. A veterinarian can perform a thorough examination and possibly imaging tests to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
