Have you picked her up and examined her, Aaron? Is there an obvious break? Or any swelling, heat or redness in either of her legs or feet?

 

If yes to any of the above, then she needs to see a vet.

yeh thats the first thing i did because i thought that a cat may have atacked her but no break also her poo is green she looks really bad i think it may be meraks but i dont really know mch about it so couldnt tell

If her poo is green it could be a sign of worms.

 

If you suspect Marek's, then she does need to see a vet asap.
