What's wrong with my cat's legs?

My cat, Sugar, is almost a year old. When we got her she was a little kitten and we noticed she walked funny but it was never anything serious. As she got older we noticed that she could not run properly or jump at all. We took her to the vet and he told us that she was calcium deficient and that her hind legs must have been discolated when she was being born. He gave us some calcium stuff, but it never helped. A few weeks ago we left on vacation. We just came back today. Her legs are worse than ever. I’ve never seen her like this. They give out completely when she walks. She’ll take a couple of steps and the back half of her will fall and she’ll have to pull it up again and keep walking. And now she’s been trying to scratch the back of her head for like 10 minutes and occasionally she’ll meow and it looks so… weird. Please help me.

If my description wasn’t helpful enough, I took a video of her trying to walk and scratch herself Please watch it and tell me what you think:

    GO TO THE VET. If you can not afford it, please google cheap vet clinics, they’ll help you as well.

    ok, first of all, i think that vet is stupid dude, i mean if it cant walk it should do something serious about it, like really, calcium? i think you should go to another vet and check on it. i feel really sorry for your cat. you know, i had this book about cats and it had all the like sicknesses and dislocations in it and dislocated legs was under ”really serious” so im pretty worried about your cat try feeling every part of her leg for dislocations and TAKE HER TO THE VET!!!!!!!
