I understand you love your kitty! Do the best you can. If you can't take her to a vet for care, make sure you give her as much love and affection as you can, and make sure she always has fresh water and food available, and a cozy bed. I wish I could tell you that you can heal her at home but I don't think this is possible, so take the best care of her and your other critters as you can :) . I wish you the best!
