My kitten won't eat, drink, move, and has a lump in her belly.

Question

I have a kitten. She was a stray so I’m assuming she’s about 10 or 11 months old, maybe a little older. She won’t eat, drink, and can hardly move. She also has a knot coming up on the inside of her. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lily. She will need to see a veterinarian. The symptoms you have described are very worrisome. Cats can actually develop a liver disease if they go too long without eating. The veterinarian will feel her belly and try to determine the source of the knot. She could be pregnant, have a wound under the skin that has become infected forming an abscess or even have a mass in her abdomen. Her veterinarian may recommend x-rays and bloodwork based on her exam findings. I hope this information helps!
