Hi everybody!
My 14 month
cat, Dexter, is a very energetic and talkative cat, and he LOVES his food no matter what, but recently he's changed and suddenly, too.
Yesterday I noticed how much less he was eating and how much he was sleeping. I don't know if I am worrying too much but I'm very anxious and afraid for his health since I do not know much about cats. He usually runs and meows early in the morning and late at night but this past day he just slept and walked around very minimally. I played with him to see if I could force it, and he did, but he is just not running and exploring on his own.
This morning when I cleaned his litter box I noticed that he didn't poop. It was all urine, which I counted only 3 clumps. I thought about his past bowel movements and they have all been pretty hard so I was thinking that maybe he is constipated. I got him some pumpkin puree but he refused to eat, even with dry food mixed. I'm so worried he will starve himself.
Sidenote, on June 11th last week he got his rabies and FVRCP vaccine so maybe he is lethargic from that, but it wouldn't explain him not pooping, also that was a week ago and he was himself at that time.
Please help an anxious cat mom!
