My cat is very sick, weak, not eating, losing weight. What can I do?

Question

My cat has been sick lately. Here are some symptoms that I can see as of now. She has lost appetite and has a noticeable weight loss, she appears weak, she doesn't move for long periods of time except only to use the bathroom, both of her eyes appear to be closed except for one that is barely opened, before she only had tears in her eyes. Currently we are on a finical crisis and have poor weather and are unable to take her to the vet. I fear she may pass soon. Is there anything I can do now? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Cottonball! From your pictures, Cottonball looks very sick. I wonder how old she is, her age would help us give you ideas on what could be going on. Since she is unspayed, she could have a uterine infection which is life threatening and requires an emergency spay surgery. Other causes are severe upper respiratory infection, feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency virus, feline infectious peritonitis, cancer, kidney or liver disease, overactive thyroid, diabetes. The only thing I can suggest is to gently syringe feed her watered down and blenderized canned cat food and water. She sadly needs to see a Vet for a diagnosis once the weather is cleared. I hope this helps and I wish Cottonball the best!
