Answer
Kristal -

Have your cat examined again; diarrhea of that magnitude will not resolve on its own.  If she is too weak to use a litter box she must be extremely ill.  A veterinay professional can surely diagnose and treat her illness.

Unfortunately, I am unable to diagnose her problem without the benefit of a physical exam.
