Injured cat

Rating: 8

Hi, last night as my boyfriend drove out his car, my cat was underneith, she ran and we couldnt find her till this morning. She is breathing poorly now through her mouth wich is open all the time, is hurt next to her mouth, her one side of face is swollen up, her one eye is just showing black pupil, above her eye the hair is torn away. There is dry blood at her nostrils. The rest of her body seems fine and she moves fine, just this breathing noises ect. She doesnt want to drink water or eat. It is impossible for me to get her to a vet now as i dont have transport. I am really worried, dont know what i can and cant do, if fluids is a good idea? If i should try and wash her nostrils? If there might be swelling on the brain ect. Thanks so much for your time.

    I am sorry to hear that your cat is injured, As  soon as you get transport she needs to be taken right to your vet this is definitely an emergancy ( some vets will also make house calls if you ask and some may even have transport). All you can do for her at home is gently wipe away any discharge that might be blocking her nose and make her food and water available along with a litter box close by. Make sure she is warm and on a comfortable blanket.

    PLease let me know how she gets on.
