My cat was outside and apparently she got into a fight and has a wound in her tail. And now she wont eat and is shaking and is very quiet. I cant join any vet here as they close on weekends. What can i do ?

She most likely has an infection and it can develop, if it has not already into an abscess. I would recommend trying to find an emergency veterinarian if you can. She most likely needs antibiotics. If this is the case, there is nothing you can really do at home. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
