sick cat after bath

My boyfriend told me he gave our cat a bath earlier while I was at work. I got home and she is just lying on the ground I can't get her to walk and she's breathing kind of hiccupy. He said he used our shampoo. She also snorts between breaths. The vets are all closed, how worried should be?

I would be very worried.  Is there an emergency vet?  

Not anywhere near me, it's out in Phoenix and my boyfriend has our car out at his work.

I am afraid that she seriously needs to be treated by a Vet, ASAP...

I think she needs to see a vet as soon as possible.  This isn't normal behavior, and sounds like she's been exposed to a toxin.

What kind of shampoo was it?

It had to have been Pantene beautiful curls. That's all I have in the bathroom.

Also there's no vomit or anything in thouse. It's just her behavior and breathing

It sounds like there was something toxic to cats in it.  Here is a link to poison control for animals: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control

Human products should never  be used on animals without consulting with a vet.

And she's still alert, like she looks at me when I move and will raise her head if I say her name she just won't walk anywhere :\

Thankyou for the link!

Yes, something sounds like it is seriously wrong.  You don't want it to get worse.  Please trust your gut instinct that lead to you posting here and consult some people who can diagnose and help.

Did you call? Any update?

I suggest you ask your boyfriend a few more questions as this seems a bit odd. If all he did was bathe the cat, maybe it aspirated some water? That is very dangerous.

And why was he giving it a bath to begin with?  

I missed the weird breathing. If she aspirated water into her lungs she is in big trouble. Get her to a vet ASAP!

Any update here? I hope you spoke to the vet and everything is ok.
