my cat will not eat and her eye is swollen with puss like liquid oozing out. She really wants to eat, but when she tries she screams and runs away and gets real scared. I dont know if it is a infection in her teeth or mouth. Neep help to get her through the night. She hasnt ate in 2 days.

It sounds like a tooth root abscess. Just leave her for the night and tomorrow she will have surgery to have that tooth removed so its best she doesn't eat for 10 hours pre anaesthetic anyway. Ask the vet to put her on intravenous fluids that will help support her organs that maybe suffering fromnot eating and the infection.
If you really want to feed her tomight then get some can food and add warm water, suck up in syringe and syringe feed her.

Baby food mixed with water so she can lap it up, but if she's got a vet appt tomorrow that's the best thing. She may need anesthesia to fix whatever is wrong, and it's best to do that on an empty stomach so they don't throw up. Try water, tuna juice or canned broth to get some fluids into her.

If she's that bad off maybe you should have taken her to the vet today or go ahead and take her to the emergency clinic, which will cost you a fortune! But is she at least drinking water? She'll probably be ok till in the morning, or at least I hope so!!! But the stuff I found on the web says you really shouldn't give her aspirin.

are you feeding her dry kibble? I suggest that you open a can of wet cat food and liquify it further using a blender or mashing it up with water so she can just lick it. poor kitty must have a really really bad abscessed tooth that has reached her sinus and eyes. Chewing will realy hurt in this case. I hope your kitty will be better.

Will she eat food watered down to a "soup" ? Sounds like a tooth problem. she may be able to lap up the soup as opposed to chewing...

you may not want to feed her in case they need to put her under to treat the problem. but if she screams after trying to eat, its probably to painful anyways. just try to stay with her and love her as best you can till the vet can help her.
