My cat is limping, losing weight, and has a swollen leg. What's wrong?

Question

So my cat has been losing weight ,but she still eats as normal. She is losing lots of hair and limps when she walks. Her back leg is swollen as well. Im really worried she doesnt move from her spot and hides behind the couch. Any idea what it might be? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 1 year and 4 months old | 3 lbs

If Shadow is limping, that tells me she is painful. She may have injured her leg leading to the swelling and limping. That leg does look quite swollen. Weight loss could be from disease, as can the hair loss. She needs to see a vet immediately, please take her into one now. Best of luck.
