My cat is sick... please help

[t33kyboy]

Thats her right there .

For the past couple days, my cat has just been sitting in the same spot. No food, no water.. nothing. Its usually energetic but now it just seems tired. Its breathing really slow and it looks real pale around the nose area. The cat has lost alot of weight and i try to bring it food and water but it just looks at it... takes a lick.. stop.. and gives up. Like it doesnt want to eat or drink anymore... im worried...

I dont know any vets around here or the cost to take my cat there. So please... someone help me...

How old is the cat? Have you checked its feces' for worms? If not I suggest you do.

Look up your yellow pages for local vets. If you want your cat to live, I suggest you take it to the vet. It shouldnt cost too much for a check up, only about $30 or so, but I think you cats life is worth it, dont you?

Check for worms.

[t33kyboy]

Check poop for worms, okay. But my cat hasnt moved from that spot in a couple days... Im so sad

edit: checked, no worms.

go to the vet

you need to take your cat to the dammm doctor man dont sit there looking at her i am not trying to be mean to you but a check up is less than a case of paint

[JimmyBeam]

make sure they check it for leukemia, the symptoms sound like its something really serious and cats are prone to it

Take her to the vet fool.

I hate to say it but your cat has all the signs of feline leukemia. Has it ever been vaccinated for it?

If not, I'm sorry but there isn't anything that can be done. I've lost a number of strays I took in to it.

my cat had the same problems and we had to put it to sleep
but it was due to very old age.

just hit the vet up thats what they are there for.

good luck

Yea dude get her looked at, it's either renal failure or she's anemic for some reason. But you need to get some bloodwork and xrays done.

hate to say it but a cat i had a few years ago did the same thing then it ...died im sorry

could be dehydration. cats can get so thirsty that they simply decide it's not worth drinking anything.

The problem is, dehydration doesn't happen on it's own. the real question is "why".

In my own cat, it's due to liver failure. After a couple of weeks of fluid injections (til he got strong enough to insist we stop in no uncertain terms), and special food, my cat's lived about a year longer then we expected, and he's still going as strong as a 17 year old cat can.

However, it might be something much more traumatic and PAINFUL, like leukemia.

Take your cat to a vet. You might need to put him down, or he might live another 5 years, but if you don't take him to the vet he WILL DIE, and he will die PAINFULLY.

If you love him, take care of him.

Find a bleeping vet or call an actual doctor! Ask him if he can help you, he just might because a cats body is simulare to a humand in certain reguards.! My cat is pretty old and will once in a blue moon act like this, usually once o twice in the entire year.

OMG what are you still doing here Get to a vet! I'ed drive for hours, even a entire day to get my cat to a vet! Once my cat got sick and we took it to the vet that second (it couldn't keep its balance without stumbling).

OMG you still here? Go!

[t33kyboy]

I'll take it to the vet tomorrow.

This happened on the first smog the air day... then 2 more smog the hair day happened right after that, so maybe its dehydration... who knows.. vet tomorrow! Also, it has alot of that gooey eye poop. It looks like its breathing normally, not hot, etc...

a quick/cheap way to try to get some fluids into a cat

1: get some chicken wings/necks (cheap parts, but no organ meats due to contamination that can cause problems with bad kidneys)

2: put in big pot, cover with cold water

3: bring to boil, cut back to simmer

4: wait 20 minutes

5: cool to "warm", and serve broth to cat.

it worked sometimes for mine when he didn't want to drink water...
