Question
Found an emaciated cat while walking to store.  Tryed to go to vets but they or closed for the weekend.  We need to know what feeding scheldule he/she needs to be on.  Can't figure gender because of mates in this area.  weak back legs but not favioring one or the other. We heard that a very small amount of asprin can help for the pain.  Is this avisable? if so, how much per weight?

Answer
Hello crystal:
No aspirin for the cat.  Is there any emergancy vet open this weekend.???  This cat may need some I.V. fluids.  You won't be able to do that at home.

It is nice of you to help!  Thanks for being a good person.



Best of Luck
