Please take your kitty to the vet. Three days is a long time to not be eating. Is she drinking?

There are 24/7 vet hospitals open. However, if you want to wait you need to give her some water. This is very important. Use some kind of clean dropper and slowly drop water into her mouth. If you can't find any clean droppers in your house go to your local Sav-on or Longs Drugs or whatever pharmacy is open today. Cats become dehydrated very quickly. It is very important that you give her water.

I'm glad her prognosis is good. I was a bit worried that she may not make it through the night and you would be leaving a really sad post today. I'm very glad she is at the vets and will pull through. I'm sure she misses you and can't wait to be back home. Keep us posted.
