Question
Hi my name is Tatyan my cat 'Mary' isn't moving a lot all she does is sleep, and she doesn't eat her food my mom and me don't see her eat all we see her do is sleep in my room. She use to be thick but now she's become a lot smaller and and its come to a point were we can't take her to the vet. to see what's wrong because of money. She's brag like or sluggish. What is wrong with her please tell me. Thank you

Answer
Tatyan,

I wish I could just tell you what is wrong with your kitty and how to fix it.  But medicine doesnt work that way.  We, veterinarians, depend on history, physical exam findings, and diagnostic testing.  Even then sometimes we cant figure out what is going on.  Her best hope is for you to get her to a veterinarian and unfortunately that takes money.  I understand your dilemma and I wish I could tell you that she will be OK without medical care.  But I cant say that.  

I will keep you both in my prayers.
