We just got back from a weekend away today.  A friend has been looking
after the girls for us.

When we got back we noticed that Caramel's tail isn't standing up
anymore.  She seems to be able to raise the first 3 inches, but the
rest just hangs there :(

We've spoken to the friend who's been looking after them, and her tail
was fine last night when he came round, but he'd noticed she had it
down this morning.

They've been indoors while we were away, so there is no chance she
could have been hit by a car.  She seems fine of herself.  She is
eating and drinking normally, and doesn't appear to be in any pain.

Anyway, we immediately rang the emergency number for the vet (today is
a public holiday), described the symptoms.  They've asked us to keep
her in for the rest of today, and check she is eating, drinking, and
passing urine okay, and then take her to the vet, after no breakfast
tomorrow morning.  They said it wasn't worth taking her in today, as
they would only monitor her for a while, so she might as well be at
home.

Please can you send her purrs that the vet can help her, and that there
isn't any major nerve damage.

Thanks,
Kate.
