Question
my cat Roscoe which is around 1yr. hasn't ate or drank for 2 days. and when tries to walk wobbles and falls almost like its drunk. my vets out of town,and i live out middle nowhere. please help?????

Answer
He needs to see a vet, so if you're vet is not available I would try to contact another.  He could be having a vestibular (inner ear) problem, which could account for the drunken appearance, but I'm especially concerned about the fact that he isn't eating or drinking.  Cats can't go very long without eating or they develop more serious problems, and they are usually border line dehydrated anyway, so not drinking is another serious issue.  I don't think there is much you are going to be able to do by yourself at home, I think he needs professional attention at this point.
