I will. Now to see what I can do for myself or I'll be no good to any of these cats. I'm trying to get a hold of my friend but she's at work.
Definitely have to care for the caregiver!

Watching her on cam she's sleeping. My friend will watch her tonight when she gets off work. I may, as hard as it is, relinquish her to my friend, considering I'll still be able to see her. At least until I get myself taken care of. I'm so horrible I can't even be with her right now. She probably feels so abandoned at this moment. I get no comfort from anyone, as most don't understand.

My cousin will stay with my Mom. Going to 24 hour urgent care. Tourmaline and I are both in desperate need of prayers and good thoughts.

Pulled muscle and torn ligament/me. So far Tourmaline is holding her own. She did get up to go in direction of food, water and/or litter box. Stupid me forgot to give the pan cam to my friend so I could rotate it to where she was going. GGGGRRRR. My friend gets off work in an hour so she'll be getting the unflavored pedialyte and be taking Tourmaline to the vet ASAP.

She’s much worse. And I can’t even be with her. I’m a horrible person.

I don't understand St Louis. None of the 24 hour animal clinics will take her. This is horrible. What are we going to do? And yes APA is one of them that I called. I get no help or advice anywhere about any situation. 
Anyway this was 5 hours ago. It actually looks like she's injured although a vet (if one will take her ) will know more.

We are still trying to find a vet to take her. I feel so bad and so guilty for not even being with her. I don't know how much cats understand that their humans also are sick and in pain. We did get some pedialyte and water in her through an eye dropper (or rather my friend did). And she did use the litter box for both types of business. She was fine when she ate this bacon and the butter. In fact she even trotted next door after drinking her water, although she didn't eat. Sadly I had to let her out before Mom started screaming. So what happened must have been after she took off and I didn't notice until we woke up yesterday morning.
Hmm, maybe an ear infection? The way she shakes her head makes me think so. And she seems to be dizzy or something, doesn't look injured or ill, it's just too hard to stand up.
(I'm also gonna say that I think she's a neutered he, just based on head shape, so let's see what the vet says about that. But that's not important, I just wanted to get my bets in).
I hope your friend can find a clinic that can get Tourmaline in today!

Thank you. We did watch as Tourmaline ate some litter. And the corners of the eyes are white. Thanks for that btw. I'm sure the vet will come through for us. And yea, most likely is a he. Well Treasure was a girl too until I got a good look haha, but you're right. Most important is that Tourmaline is well.Hmm, maybe an ear infection? The way she shakes her head makes me think so.

Also, would an inner ear infection cause Tourmaline to lose interest in eating and drinking?

She just left with Tourmaline for the Vet at APA which is 10 minutes from her house. She shared another video and Tourmaline is walking a bit but after being given pedialyte with water. Still not eating though. View media item 423972

Hey everyone the vet just went to take her inside. Lots of prayers and good thoughts. She's a fighter though. She managed to get to a water bowl to drink although she's still not eating.
I hope and pray that you either find a vet fast or she recovers on her own. Cats definitely know when we don't feel well and with their outstanding abilities to detect and recognize so many various scents, they often know what's wrong. That said, some cats offer cosy companionship, some prefer to stay away and others get insecure and demanding of reassurance. Thank you for the latest.
How’s she doing? Is she back from the vet?

They say he has a 1% change of survival. But why would he go through all he did over the winter to just die now? And Pepper was much worse then he was: given the same odds and pulled through and spent 15 more years with me.
