Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 6 lbs

Hey! I have a cat 2 years old, Since yesterday at 6 am, she was on the floor unable to walk, at first she was making noises but now nothing, her mouth is shut tight, she do running moves as if she was running but laying on her side and can't stand, I tried feeding her with a syringe but she throws so much of it away and can't control her head movements and her eyes are barely open. Now I can't even get the syringe inside her mouth of how tight it is

It sounds like Lily is in critical condition! She may have seizures, a thrombus cutting off blood supply to her back legs, or she may have ingested a toxin. I would recommend seeing a veterinarian as soon as possible. There is nothing that you would be able to do at home to help her at this point, and I would be worried that she may not survive much longer from what you describe.
