My cat has been acting different the past 2 days, very lethargic; hasn't moved off my bed to eat or go to the bathroom. She normally loves cat snacks and won't eat or drink anything when I try by putting it on my finger. Her eyes r like glossy and not all the way open. I'm questioning whether to bring her to the emergency room. The fees are so crazy expensive but I would be devastated if anything was to happen to her. Idk what to do

Help, my cat is sick

She needs to eat even if that means syringe feeding her. I know emergency vets are expensive but if it is possible to pay for it I would take her.

I will try syringe feeding her, thank u Denice. I called my vets emergency hours and they weren't any help and said they would need to see her to do anything. I called somewhere else and they said she might b constipated and I went and bought this stuff u put on their paw cuz they don't like anything on their paw but she won't even lick it. she is wobbling a little tiny bit when she walks. She finally just went to the bathroom and it was a couple small balls of elimination peaches08
Cats can develop a fatal condition called hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease) with 24-48 hours of not eating. She's not eating for a reason, so she really needs to see a vet so that they can help you figure out why she's lethargic and not eating. Please don't wait. People have lost their cats because they waited too long.
I would get her to the vet ASAP. I think it's more than constipation.
I do too.
When cats stop eating, time is of the essence.
If not too far gone, I find they will eat meat flavored baby food off of your finger. If not even that, they are deathly sick. That is my test anyway.
