I hope you don't have to go through this.

Can I ask you if Freckles had any feature changes in her face at all because I am fostering a 16 to 18 yr old cat from a local rescue group and when I recieved her Laborday weekend she was nothing but skin and bones and now she actually has gained weight but I noticed today that her eye is almost closed and her tip of her tounge is hanging out with her mouth opened. I called them and they are going to get her in the vet tomarrow but I was wondering if this could be what she has had.
