Cat very ill

go back to the vet and have them put it down

>>2290006
Did they do a fecal? How about an xray or an ultrasound?

>>2290064
No, no and no. I don't know if they even have equipment for the latter two.

Maybe the larger vet in the city. I wonder what I can expect to pay for an intensive checkup. Germany here.

One thing that sucks is I can't weight the criticality of the situation. I also get weak and dizzy when I merely have flu. If the cat is drinking, maybe it will just go away in a few days. It's been a little less than a week now...

The death of a cat is always a happy moment, friend.

You said you went to the vet and did a blood test but what about her mouth? Did they check for abscesses, fractured jaw, broken teeth, etc?

Also, have you tried running water to get her to drink?

>>2290068
Lead water pipes, maybe? You're both dying.

If your vet clinic doesn't even have a fucking x-ray machine, you REALLY need a better vet. Literally no acceptable veterinary clinic would not have a goddamn x-ray machine. If he has an intestinal blockage, the only way to identify it would be an ultrasound or an x ray. It's also retarded that they didn't do a fecal. That's generally the first thing they do when animals stop eating. Find a better vet as soon as you possibly can.

A cat not eating or drinking for days should be considered an emergency. Best of luck, anon.

Seconded.

This is a good suggestion.

Don't worry about the fecal for now. In the case of intestinal parasites, you'd have been seeing vomiting and/or diarrhea by this point, not anorexia and an unwillingness to drink on such a scale.

There are medications that can be prescribed which stimulate the appetite, such as mirtazapine - we use it at my clinic when cats refuse to eat for 3 days or more. In absence of this, you can force-feed her by mixing canned or baby food with water into a slurry and using a syringe/eyedropper/similar item to squirt very small amounts into the back of her mouth, as you would do when giving a medication. Here's an unnecessarily long video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECPS4PFgRqg

Cats do not take kindly to this, and it should only be done on a very short-term basis in order to get them through a rough patch; this is no way for an animal to live in the long term.

If her mouth checked out okay and nothing was found in the bloodwork, though, she needs an x-ray. It's highly likely there is something seriously wrong with her internally, but it may be something that could potentially be fixed, such as the aforementioned intentional blockage that could be surgically removed.

Good luck, anon.

I wasn't with them when they went to the vet. (I was in the hospital myself, ironically because trying to keep the cat warm in my room led me to dehydrate in the night and pass out in the morning, heavily hitting my head.) But I've been told the vet looked into her mouth a lot.

She drinks still water now, so that problem is solved at least. I can only hope it means she will improve to eventually eat again.

Maybe they do have it, I'll make sure to ask about all this when we next go. It's a really tiny vet in a tiny city though. I heard the one in the bigger city nearby even has emergency services on holidays so they probably have a ton more equipment too.

OK, thanks for all the tips. Here's a checklist for now, tell me if I missed anything:

- xray
- ultrasound
- problems in the mouth (infections, broken teeth...)
- fecal check
- appetite stimulants like mirtazapine

Thanks for all those who helped with information.

After another blood test, it came out that Luna had FAIDS and FIP, and her condition would only have worsened.

She was purring in her last moments, and was put to sleep peacefully.

Hold your loved ones dear. You can never know when misfortune will take them away.

In case it isn't clear, she wasn't ill in the photo, just relaxed enough on my shoulder to doze off...

Qt what race mix are you

>>2291617
She was a European short-hair, although she had remarkably soft fur...

If you're somehow talking to me, I'm German/west-Turkish, part Greek on the Turkish side.

Talking to you, I love Caucasian middle eastern mixed men. Your partner is a lucky person. Enjoy the rest of your day

Congratulations, op! Hope it happens to them all :']
