I need good thoughts for my cat

Since I took my cat from the vet she is sicker than ever. She was worse and worse each day. I had a conflict with the vet and I don't have money for another vet. It's not so easy to take such a cat to the vet.
I tried to help her, but she is wild and she refuses to take meds. She becomes aggressive. When she breathes I can hear noises. I think that she has pneumonia. The vet refused to tell me which meds were given to her. When I took her to that vet she was not so sick. I fear that she may die. Now she is in my house.
It's sad because vets don't help at all. And I have no help for her.

If you can keep her in the house and keep her comfortable, she has a better chance of survival. I know money isn't easy to come by, but perhaps you can arrange a video visit with a vet. Or, look for a place that can offer some good advice.
Without knowing the details, I don't know how to help. Make sure she has access to food and water. I do know, for animals to have the best chance at recovery, like people, they need to stay hydraded. I have experience medicating difficult cats. But, if you don't know the meds, that won't help. If she will eat canned food that's your best bet of sneaking water into her.
I'll send good vibes your way.

It's not uncommon for animals to suffer adverse affects from prolonged vet exposure. What types of meds are you supposed to give her? I may be able to help you figure out how to administer them. I have some cats who I can't pill to save my life. Not because I don't know how, but because I could break their jaw if I tried. So, I know a few tricks to get cats to take meds. @dya80dya

@kaylachan She needs antibiotics. I think that she has pneumonia. She has all the symptoms. I had to took the cat to the same vet. Can you share me some tips? My cat came home sick. The vet told me that she was healthy, but she was really sick. She stayed in a cage for 6 days there. And now she is there again. My two other cats started to sneeze. Her disease is contagious. Since the first day she sneezed and coughed. She has a respiratory infection.

I am so sorry to hear this and will put in a prayer for your cat as I do for all animals and children, Are there not free animal clinic you could take her to?

As long as the cat still able to eat, there is still hope in her. Try giving her wet food or boil chicken meat. At least wet food is watery, that'll give her more water. Try to make her as warm and comfortable as she can.
I know what's it like to have a sick cat. Hope both of you can be strong.

Is she an old cat? When Freya was ill the vets were anxious to see her, but she would have been more traumatised by the journey and I really did not have enough money for her when she was likely just dying of old age. (We now think she ate a frog!) I decided as she was not in pain as far as I could tell, we would let nature take its course and she has been right as rain ever since. Sometimes, it is better to let nature take its course, though I would have moved heaven and earth if she was younger. I would talk to an animal charity and see if they will treat her for a donation or free.
