Hi. It sounds like she is VERY sick if she won't even get up to go potty. I would not suspect a parasite would be this severe. I recommend the ER for supportive care, stays and further diagnostics. If her blood was thin and she is weak, anemia could be a.cause and there could be a.tumor of spleen bleeding causing her signs. Go to the Er getaway
