take her to a vet! she may have parasites or even feline periontis. this could be life threatening. The bad thing about cats is that when they get really sick they have a lower survival rate than dogs. Your poor cat needs to be quarentined from your other animals until she can go to the doc. This will lower the chances that she can infect the other animals, and that she is safe and warm. Above all make sure she stays hydrated. Go buy some pedealite (in the baby section of just about any store) and administer the fluid with a ten cc oral syringe (most pharacists will give you one for free if you ask). Take her to the vet asap because cats can deteriorate very quickly to a point where they cannot be saved.

you're letting an 8 week previous kitten wander round outside unsupervised? And he replaced into neutered at 6 weeks previous? some thing isn't including up right here. Regardless, if he's not putting stress on the leg for better than a pair hours then he needs to ascertain a vet. A damaged bone in a kitten youthful will recalcify in a remember of days, so it really is serious that it really is set correct. My kitten broke her leg on a Friday evening yet i did not comprehend so I waited until eventually Monday to deliver her in - by ability of then, the leg had already recalcified to the point that the surgical operation they might've stated replaced into unnecessary. fortunately with a splint and a pair weeks of being crated the leg healed ok and he or she has complete use of it proper this second.

Do your pets fight with each other or just play rough? She may have an abscess that is about to rupture. Sometimes cats and dogs get into fights and cause small injuries to each other that get infected. Puncture wounds are particularly bad. If she is that painful, check your area for an emergency veterinary clinic--she should be seen ASAP. An abscess is basically a pocket of pus which could cause sepsis--that's bad. Very bad. We lost a kitten to sepsis from a bite from her littermate. There could be something different going on like an intestinal problem. In your case, you need the advice of a vet--I'd recommend you have her seen quickly!

Many towns have emergency pet offices that are open after hours, but they are expensive.
She could be constipated or eaten something that did not agree with her, or have enlarged kidneys. If she is not spayed, I would not 100% rule out pregnancy, cats are SNEAKY, especially when in heat.
Call the vet as soon as they open, and if they cannot see her first thing, ask if they will allow you to drop her off first thing in the morning and see her between animals and call you when they know more.

They have emergency vet clinics that you can go to, open 24 hours. Find one near you and get her to the vet ASAP. Poor little thing, she can't tell you what is wrong so help her the best you know how. Let the professionals handle it. Good Luck, I hope she is ok, I have a kitty too so I know how you feel.

I would be worried! Do you have a cat carrier or a small cage? Or even just locking her in a bathroom. I would keep her separated from your other pets untill you can get her to the vet. Make sure she has access to food and water. Then get her to the vet ASAP

She must have a fight, and is still hurting. You may leave her alone and quiet for a while.
Don't worry. When you see her calm down later, you can bring her to a vet for a general check up.

Sounds like she has been exposed to a male somewhere, she is about to have kittens. Leave her be and see if you can find her after she hides, or if she has a box to sleep in make sure any of the bedding is clean.
