Her shoulder is kind of sticking out, she’s limping
It sounds like your cat may have injured her shoulder, which could be causing her to limp and making the shoulder appear as though it is sticking out. This could be due to various reasons such as a sprain, dislocation, or even a fracture. Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her:
Firstly, it's important to keep her as calm and still as possible. Limiting her movement can prevent further injury, so you might want to confine her to a small, comfortable space where she can't jump or climb.
Next, closely observe her for any signs of worsening symptoms. Look out for increased swelling, pain, or if she stops using the leg entirely.
Ensure she has a comfortable place to rest. Provide soft bedding and make sure she has easy access to food, water, and her litter box.
It's crucial to avoid giving her any human medications, as they can be toxic to cats.
If her condition does not improve within a day or two, or if it worsens, it would be best to have her examined by a veterinarian. They can perform a physical examination and possibly imaging studies like X-rays to determine the exact cause of the problem and provide appropriate treatment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
