my cat has been eating poorly and has lost a lot of weight since i have recently moved. the place where i have moved has been treated with decon for mice and i did find tablets here and there.of course i did my best to clean them all up asap. Well the past couple weeks i have noticed that my cat has lost weight and her coat is very oily and not well taken care of. Her behavior is very abnormal and tonight i picked her up and she felt so light. i set her down on the floor and she couldnt even stand. she is just so lifeless...i need help. i need to get her to the vet asap

Amber.....you know the answer. We all know you love your cat.....now prove it by taking her to the VET ASAP. Cats are generally very healthy and take care of themselves. However, you are describing symptoms which require professional help.
It might be the De-con tablets.......or even the De-con in the air. It could be early signs of a serious disease. It might be partly due to the upset of moving...... but all of these questions are best answered by a pro.
It is easy to weigh a cat......as long as you have a regular bathroom scale. Just pick her up and check the weight of both of you....then put her down and subtract your weight.
Some people suggest using 'human drugs'...others say 'wait a week'. My 40 years of experience and love for felines tells me to tell you to do neither. Cats are not people and are tiny by comparison. Rely on your vet to diagnose and treat the problem...so you'll have lots of years with your pet.
I am glad you care enough to ask for advice.
Good luck and good health to both of you!

Moving can be very stressful for a cat. We moved and our cats decided not to eat for a few days. Check her eyes for red blood vessels, check the skin on her ears and check her gums (make sure they are a healthy pink). If they are very pale it could mean that she has eaten one of the tablets. She would also more than likely be vomitting. Try calling the vet and see what they would suggest. Make sure she gets lots of water to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated.

Your cat may have eaten some of the Decon. Take her to a vet quick. I hope all is well soon.

Yes. I'd rush her to the vet if I were you. No time to lose now... you have to go. I only hope that if kitty has eaten one of those devon pills, it was not much and whatever damage was done can be treated and reversed.

Those Emergency ones are sooooooo expensive! Jerks won't take nothing but a check or cash or credit. I have plenty of checks but not enough to cover, no credit cards and no cash! I got lucky and borrowed from a friend tonight. I had to go tonight. So, it does sound like you should go in, just wanted to warn you! It was 365.00 for 35 staples for my dog.

yes it sounds like she is in need of a vet ASAP! There could be numerous things wrong. There is no way of diagnosing over the computer
