Cat won't eat - HELP ASAP

Post by **Wingedcross** » Fri Jul 18, 2014 8:48 am

Hello
About 2 days ago this little kitty just appeared out of nowhere in our parking.
She is nothing but skin and bones. she eats nothing, at all, she just walks around, barely moving, around the lot and drinks some water sometimes. we already have 6 cats but this little fella eats nothing. today I tried to feed her some tiny pieces of meat by hand, she did not eat, this is very concerning as she is getting weaker by the minute. today is Friday and the vets are closed in our city. I've tried searching online about why she won't even open her mouth for me to put the food in, got some suggestions about that maybe her smell senses are dulled, then I tried to place the food like stick it to her nose and mouth. unresponsive. here comes the terrifying part, I quickly put the piece of meat having the size of like an ant, in her mouth when she was licking her lips which I think was because of the smell, her head started to shake and I was just frozen out of fear. Please tell me what to asap, she is just degenerating..

Edit:spelling.

Take her to the vets NOW! She could easily die and it blows my mind that you haven't done that already since she hasn't ate in two days.

It's 1:36 PM and friday the vets not answering, I know it's extremely my fault that I neglected to care more, but I just don't know what to do now, and stressed out

If you can phone another vets and get her seen there or take her straight to your normal vet

no luck, they aren't picking the phone, can't do anything but to wait until they open

Your vet isn't open at 1.36pm in the afternoon?

liquidize some food and see if you can get it into her mouth - she may have an injured mouth, or a tumour which stops her eating

Already tried that by drenching my finger with yogurt, non flavored, and placing it by her lips, won't even open her mouth..
besides I'm so terrified to attempt feeding her again after what happened last time
