My cat went out a couple days ago and came back unable to walk normally on a hind leg; after two days home it sneaked out again and was gone two days, and today came back with one side of its chin higher than the other, unable to eat kibble (only drinks water), and one eye won’t close. Could its nerve have been damaged by a blow?
Based on your description, the cat likely suffered trauma outdoors, such as a car impact or fall, causing possible fracture or soft-tissue injury in the leg, jaw dislocation or fracture, and eyelid or facial nerve damage. These are life-threatening; seek a full veterinary exam.
