You need to take her to the vet today. they will be closed soon, and not their for another two days, then you will have to go to an emergency clinic, so take her now before it is too late. They cannot give you advice until they examine her, sounds like life or death to me.

I am sorry, can you get some food and water into her? Do you have a syringe, or turky baster? YOu could mix wet food with water, kind of soupy, sqeeze it into her mouth? Get around a half can into her.

You have to force her mouth open. sometimes a few tastes will get her to start eating on her own. she has to have food and water

I don't know your location but is there any emergency vets by you? Your kitty really needs to see a vet like now from your description. How long has she been like this. I know you don't wanna take her into a vet because of a past experince but this right now sounds life threating. If you have any way to get her to a vet today please do.

I don't want to sound harsh, but your cat needs to see a vet NOW. It sounds as though it already is near death.

You need to do as the above poster replied - force feed and get some water into your cat.

None of us are vets so we cannot diagnose your cat but we can tell from your post that this cat is very sick.

Please do the right thing and get it to an emergency vet right away.

I cannot believe your vet didn't insist you come in when you called. And no decent vet would advise you give any medicine without seeing the cat. If the vet you talked to didn't suggest you bring the cat in immediately, then I would look for a better vet.

Your cat is in rough shape right now..there is a good chance she will die if you don't take her. Chances are she won't get better on her own, and she will be in better hands at the vet where they can at least try to help her.

PLEASE, I beg you...take her to the vet as soon as its open..or an emergency vet if you have one.
