    Cat has no appetite, is vomiting and not producing milk.
    I am her foster mom, she was surrendered to her shelter on 2/1. Up until two days ago she was eating like crazy. She then stopped eating the canned food and stopped drinking the formula. Yesterday morning is the last time I think she ate hard food. She has a slight fever of 103.1 and was a little dehydrated so I gave her fluids this afternoon and some amoxy. I tried to force some baby food but she vomited it immediately. Earlier she vomited fluid. She has a small loose stool this afternoon. She is lethargic and not producing milk. She has eight kittens that were born on 1/12 and we have been supplementing them with KMR as well. She has been FIV and Felv tested. I have separated her from the babies as she was gently pushing them away but this morning she was allowing them to snuggle etc. Any suggestions?

    The cat needs to see a vet. Sooner, rather than later. Cats can't go long at all without eating before liver damage happens.

    She saw a vet yesterday. One that is excellent and that I trust. And we are going back tomorrow morning.

    She has not had access to any chemicals, or plants or anything like that. This is her second litter that we know of (first born 9/2). Vet looked at her upon surrender and yesterday and, although thin as would be expected with a large litter she and the kittens checked out well. She had actually gained weight since she was surrendered. She was wormed and had fleas so we applied kitten Revolution on intake.

    What did the vet do? Bloodwork? Rads? Any other diagnostics? Without this you may not know what's wrong.
