I recently had a calico cat wander up to my house and me being an animal lover I decided to let her stay. My husband and I are on a limited income as he is a OEF/OIF disabled War Veteran. A few days ago (Army Girl) our new calico cat became very sick. Come to find out she gave birth to a very premature dead kitten and has since gotten very weak and has had trouble breathing. We do not have the money for a Vet and I am trying to do what I can to help this cat. Its been a few days since she passed the dead baby and we thought we were going to lose Army Girl also but she started coming back around and has started trying to eating and drinking. What I am concerned about is I believe she got an infection from a dead fetus being inside of her . I believe she passed the baby but is there any type of broad spectrum anitbiotic I can get for her online to help rid this infevtion although what type of underlying infection she has is unknown. I am not a Vet but I have researched as much as I can. I cant afford to take this cat to the Vet and my husband just loves her .... Is therer any kind of antibiotic I can order her online to at least try to help her in any way I can. Its all I can do andI feel horrible but at least I am trying to help her any way I can. I just need some advise on what to do. And [please do not say take her to the vet.. I cant or I wouldnt be on here pleading for help. I am just trying to give her somekind of chance and this is all I know to do. Anyone with some advise would be great. She is much better than she has been she has her appitite back and she is purring but I believe she has an infection. Help someone please just tell me what type of antibiotic I can give her. I know someone knows somwthing that would at least give her a chance to live. Thank you I am so tired and worn oput . I have sat with her for the past 3 days because there is just something about this cat that my husband loves . He has a traumatic brain injury and severe PTSD and this cat helps him more than ten years of therapy have. He was a 1st infantry soldier in Iraq and Afgahanstan. I am very proud of him and I just wanna get this cat well for him. Thank you so much
