Re: please help me!!!!
you have provided little medical history of this cat nor said how long this has been going on or what other issues are known, however....
given your description, your cat sounds in need of serious medical attention and you need to call an ER vet (or your regular one if they are open) right now.

Brittany, WE DO NOT DIAGNOSE ON THIS BOARD
You need to get your kitten to the nearest emergency vet RIGHT NOW, there could be various reasons for the paralysis, only your vet can tell you by examining her. Don't wait on this, she needs to be seen NOW. Borrow money from a friend or family member or something...
Do NOT use mineral oil for cats, it robs the intestines of vital mucosa, necessary for digestion and passage of material through the intestines. If she is constipated, if the constipation is serious, only your vet can remedy this by giving her a kitten enema or prescribing the appropriate hariball remedy.....Please, get her to your vet ASAP, this is serious!!
