Answer 1

Please get this poor cat to a vet ASAP! It is very sick and needs medical attention that you cannot give. If you have other animals, keep her away from them until you know what's wrong with her, she could have something contagious. I hope she will be okay!

Answer 2

Yes, you are going to want to take her to the vet- that is very important. But until then, the main thing I am concerned about is her becoming dehydrated. Get an eyedropper, fill it with water- not milk, and force or try and get her to drink it. This is no substitute for the vet, and you should get her there as soon as humanly possible (meaning now). This will help her a little bit on the ride to the vet. If you absolutely cannot afford the vet, take her to a shelter and see if they can get her any help; they often have volunteer vets.

Answer 3

you might not save her?

just try to keep her warm and pet her a lot.

i had a litter of 6 and all died of the same symptoms.

except one/ she is holding on every morning i think she will be dead.

all i do is give her to her mom and she try to eat the others wouldn't.

and keep her warm and talk to her and pet her a lot.

maybe that why the other one is still here.

but be strong if she pass away. it hurt me to see those poor kittens die. i had 8 litters in the last 2 yrs and never had a whole litter get sick on me.

i think the mom was too young when she got pregnant and just had a bad litter.

got her fixed yesterday cause i cant go through that again.

but keep praying and try to put a little warm milk into her. and wash her eyes with a warm rag be gentle. i know you see Grey puss coming out. but keep doing this 5-6 times a day.

and please make sure you wash your hands really good after handling her. don't want you to get sick or get pink eye.




good luck.

Answer 4

This kitten sounds fairly near death, and trying to spoon milk at it (not cow's milk I hope?!) is not going to help.

PLEASE get the cat to a vet, or a shelter that will take it to a vet if you don't have the money. Young kittens don't last this long when they're this ill, believe me. You're going to have a dead kitten on your hands very soon unless you get it some proper help.

Answer 5

Try using a medicine dropper, and try using water. Get a can of caned cat food, not the chuncky kind, or if you have a can of tuna fish packed in water try putting a piece of that in front of her nose, the smell of it should intice her to eat. If she doesn't want anything to do with it then i'm sorry to say she is probably to far gone for you to help and will need to see a vet if you are able to do that. whatever else is wrong with her, one of her big problems is the fleas, they are sucking the blood out of her, so if you do get her to perck up a little, you will need to do something to get rid of the fleas. Good Luck!

Answer 6

I would take her to the vet asap. She may have a disease that could need medicine. If you have other animals it would be best to have her tested so that she does not spread it to the others. If you have a medicine dropper you can try to feed her with it. I would start with something really bland though so it does not upset her stomach. Try chicken baby food and put it in her mouth with the medicine dropper. Giver her water with the medicine dropper too and I would keep her in a carrier with a towel over the top of it to reduce her stress.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Do you have some vitamin c powder or tablets? Mix a tablet or about 1/2 a teaspoon of vitamin c with a little water to make a paste and push it into the cat's mouth with your finger. This will help fight any shock or infection she might be suffering from. Also some plain water. She might be dehydrated.
Good luck.

Answer 8

Water immediately, vet next. no food - and no milk - too difficult to digest. Water is essential even if you have to use an eyedropper to drip some in it's throat.

Answer 9

Call the vet, ask for advice, maybe someone can pick the cat up for you so that you won't hurt it by attempting to move it yourself...but get help!!!!

Answer 10

For a moment there I thought this was a poem of some sort. Why do you write in that format??

Anyways, take her to a Vet, simple.
