Answer 1

Oh hun, your cat is really sick. You need to get her to the vet right away. It looks like she broke her neck or has a disease. But it doesn't look good. You need to take her in Right NOW!! She looks like she's in pain. I'm sorry sweetie but she may need to be put down, but if you can afford it, do the X-rays and blood work to find out if its something that can be fixed. your cat is horriably underweight and is losing hair, whatever you have been feeding it, is probably the reason its dying. The last time I saw a cat with this problem it ended up being Distemper and we had to put the cat down. I'm sorry but please take her in now. If seaweed and wheat gluten were the only thing you have been feeding it, you have been starving it and now she dying. After looking at all the pics, I don't see that this cat is going to be saved, I'm sorry. Please, if you ever decide to get another cat, you need to do some research on how to properly care for it.

Answer 2

Get the poor kitty to the vet right away! S/he will probably try to find out if it just hurts the cat to straighten the neck or if she physically can't. The cat may have fallen or injured her neck so that she can't straighten it. In any case, take the cat to the vet and you should get this (and her neck!) straightened out. In the meantime, don't panic! Relax! Breathe! Cats can go without food or water for 4-7 days, depending on the cat. If you can hold her and hold a bowl so she can drink it, that is for the better. Feed her kibbles of food out of your hand. But get her to the vet ASAP! She'll have the best chance to get better and it'll cost less if there are fewer complications. Good luck, and I hope your cat feels better!!

Answer 3

You definately need to bring your cat to the vet as soon as possible. Do you mean that you've been feeding her wheat gluten with sea weed in place of cat food? There are not enough nutrients in that to keep her healthy. Cats are obligate carnivors which means they need to eat meat. This article will tell to you all about pet food and show you how to choose a good quality cat food. The link for the litter did not work.

Answer 4

Ok- my first inclination was to say,"TAKE HER TO THE VET!!!" -but does it seem to anyone else that this might be a hoax? Feeding her wheat gluten, Wal-Mart treats, eating litter...the photos are very real, but who would feed their kitty wheat gluten and 12 EACH Wal-mart treats after that massive recall? What is 100% Diatomaceous earth?(no pic) Just being cynical.....poor kitty.

Answer 5

This is a major emergency! Please do not ignore this problem. I have NEVER seen something this bad before.

Please RUSH this cat to the vet right away!

It looks like she may have broke something (spine or neck), or has an object lodged in her throat. If you can't aford a vet, please take her to the nearest humane society and possibly they can help. If you are in the Toronto, Ontario area I know of a vet that will look at the cat for a reduced rate.

Answer 6

If you love your cat you should take her in to the vet. Sounds like some one hurt her. She might have a neck injury. Please take her in she might be in some pain. You know not to long ago they recalled some dog food for problems that where coming from the people who would make it. Maybe you picked up some kind of " bad " products!!!

Answer 7

Wheat gluten? You are aware contaminated wheat gluten what was causing all those cat/dog food recalls because of it making animals sick, right? You need to take her to the vet. Her not being able to hold her neck straight it not normal and she needs medical attention ASAP.

EDIT: THOSE TREATS WERE RECALLED. Go to this website: http://moundspet.com/cat_dept.html
TAKE HER TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY.

Answer 8

take her to a vet if not eating or drinking something is seriously wrong and only a professional can tell you but i would suggest feeding her regular cat food just like people maybe shes allergic to wheat gluten and ive never heard of giving a cat seaweed who told you to do this they need certain vitamans and minerals just like us and if you are a vegitarian which is sounds like you are do not turn your cat into one they are natural born carnivores deal with that.cats need nutrients that people food cant provide such as tourine and ash please give her regular cat food

Answer 9

that cat has something in the mouth or neck so you need to take to vet right away there is somethign wrong that cat is very thin also so hes not eating much. when it comes back start feeding it check and cat food every meal. you boil chicken and mix it with cat food. its not wel i can see.

Answer 10

first call walmart to see if there is a recall on the treats that you gave her. If there is no recall you really need to take her to the vet, she may have a small object stuck in her throat. They will be able to see it in the exrays. You do not want her to keep suffering because it may be something that can be corrected
