I am new to the site but i need some help

One of my cats is having this weird problem. This has happened a couple of times now but only for a day or two. The problem is that all of a sudden she gets really weak, she can no longer walk, hold her head up and she does not want to eat or drink. When this normally happens i give her wet food because she normal eats only dry food, so i give her wet food, plenty of water and i also give her milk and normal she bounces back within a day or two. Today it happend again and it is the worse that we have ever seen it she refuses to eat or drink even when i feed it to her she has a hard time swallowing it. I have tried to put her on a towel, blankets and the carpet and she does not want to be there she only wants to be on the cold floor. I have felt her noise and it is dry and a little warm nothing to outragous. Her body though is cool to the touch she is just really cold when you touch her and yet she wants to be on the floor and i am just really scared i hope it is not a bad sign that she is cold.

I am going to call around tommrow to find a vet we just moved from mass to rock hill sc so we dont have a vet we dont even know where they are (we just got her a few weeks ago.) so if anyone knows of any in the area that are good please let me know so i can go there and get my cat better


thanks again
katie and bravey baby

I'm no expert, but we do have a few experts here who may be able to help you, but either way you need to get her to the VET as soon as you find one. I hope everything is alright with her.

Katie,
I sent a message to a MOD who might be able to help you find a vet in your area.
I don't think that she is online right now but keep checking back.
She will be in touch with you very soon...if not today then tomorrow.
You have come to the right place for help.
Don't give up.
Welcome to TCS.

Go to www.meowhoo.com and go to the Health Category. There are veterinarians listed there as well as feline specialists. Please do not delay, please get this cat to a vet quickly.

Hissy has offered an excellent suggestion. If you don't find the Vet you're needing here, Katie, please let us know so we can assist you in your continued search for the best Dr. in your area. Good for you for taking such wonderful care of your little one and getting her to the Vet as soon as possible. Please do keep us updated. Feel better soon, Bravey Baby!

Yes, you should get to the vet asap. It sounds like it could be low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, since you say that you give her wet food and she bounces back. How old is your cat?

Thank you so much i will keep you guys updated, i have been putting water down her throat and she seems to be moving a little more not much mainly switching her position but it is something right?

I would strongly recommend taking her to the nearest 24 hour emergency vet clinic. Every medium and large city has at least one and you can find it in the Yellow Pages or online. Her symptoms are extremely serious, and the fact that she feels cold and yet keeps wanting to be on the cold floor is very, very worrisome. She needs medical care and fast.

I have one in a town of 20000

I would get her somewhere asap, like they said, it sounds like she could be anemic or something along those lines.....

I cant get ahold of a vet anywhere around that i can find and get to.

I am scared everytime she moves she is crying and it is become worse and more frequent. Her heart is also doing what looks like 3 soild beats and then a bunch of shallow beats and i put my ear near her mouth and is sounds a little wheezy

should i be waking up my husband so he can say good bye

please help me i am scared

Katie, what are you waiting for? Find a vet near you and call them, they have after hours care as well as the woman who answers the phone will more than likely give you an emergency number of a clinic opened 24/7 or at the very least look in the phone book for an ER Veterinary Clinic.

i have been calling and every where i have called they are over a 1.5 hours away and that is if i can find it in nc with out getting lost i have only been here for 2 weeks there was a place that said they were going to have the vet call me when he is done so i am waiting
