My cat started drooling thick liquid and won't eat or drink- help?

My cat, who has three baby kittens, started drooling this morning. Its thick and her mouth looks amess, and it stinks terribly. She won't eat or drink and she hasn't been with her kittens all day. We tried giving her water and milk with a surrenge- its like she can't swallow. What could be wrong?

The vet here refuses to see us because we haven't been able to pay our bill and a lot of financial trouble that's a whole other story. What do I do?? Please help! =(

(PS: We've been feeding the kittens formula)

    Take the cat to the Humane Society or the ASPCA and explain the problem and ask for help. She needs help, there might be an internal infection.

    Your vet sounds either taken for granted or like a real jerk.

    I would have to say its probably a infected tooth or some kind of mouth tumor. I know theres a whole long list of other things it could be but i cant think of anything right now.

    Do your best to look in her mouth, you will probably need someone to help you, examine the whole mouth the best you can.

    I also would suggest doing chicken broth instead of milk since cats become lactose-intolerant after about 4 months of age.

    Are there any other vets around that you could call. Your mama may have gotten into some poison, and she NEEDS a vet ASAP.

    Is there an SPCA where you are? Call them and explain your problem with the vet, and your financial problem, and HOPEFULLY they'll help.....

    Good luck. Hope everything works out for you AND your mama cat.
