HELP My 8 week old will not hardly move her back legs

[sheprettyinpink1963]

I need help. My baby flyer will not hardly move her back legs.
She sleeping a lot and she don't really want to take her FV formula.
I have tums. I gave her a whole one just now, But, It has mint in it. Can anyone please tell me what to do from here. What am I to do though out the night until I can go buy her some pure calcium in the morning. Thank you for any information you can give me. I'm really worried about my baby girl.

Okay, hang in there. If she is on formula it is unlikely that this is from MBD. Is it possible that she took a fall? It seems more likely that it is an injury.:grouphug

I haven't seen her take a fall. She seems weak. also she was making a sound like she was crying a little a few minutes ago. she is like scooting her back legs a long when she does move. she don't want to move much at all.

I agree with SM that it is highly unlikely for an 8-wk old on formula to get MBD. Let's hope this is a sprain, or even nerve damage, and that she did not seriously injure her spine......:(
Keep her warm and quiet. Make sure she is hydrated, even if you have to go drop by drop.

I see you are in Florida. Do you have a vet or can I maybe help you find a vet in your area?

I gave her the tums. If she seems to start feeling better, You think that could be a sign?

I just started her on FV a week ago. Before then I had her on Esbilac.
