    First-time Cat Owner! Advice?

    Hi thank you so much! His eating was very minimal as usual, drinking was pretty good I would say, and litter box was just urine (one clump). The vet tech said that he probably isn't passing any bowel movements because his eating habits have changed so I'm trying to not let the lack of poop...

    First-time Cat Owner! Advice?

    Wow thank you! He ate a bit this morning and I just gave him the pill to increase his appetite so I'm hoping he will eat a little bit later today. I'm planning to get the blood work done if he isn't himself tomorrow night. The new vet I went to were very thorough and made sure that if I didn't...

    First-time Cat Owner! Advice?

    There was another cat that they let roam around the vet that was owned by the clinic. And when he got his vaccines they never even checked his temperature or heart beat so they were very neglectful. They said if he isn't better in two days I should take him back for lab work. And I will...

    Hello all! Here is an update on the vet: Dexter had a fever of 105.6, the technician had to check twice to make sure because it was sooo high for my poor boy. The doctor then came and asked about him, if there was any changes, but the only thing we're his vaccines given to him the week before...

    UPDATE: I stayed up most of the night and slept on and off because I was so worried, but he just urinated after 24 hours and pooped after 48 hours. (5am CA) I am so relieved! He also drank a good amount of water, but only ate like around 5 pieces of his food (which is not a lot, but is...

    Thank you so much! :blush: I got him to eat a few pieces of food covered in pumpkin puree and I am planning to try again in an hour. I'm just worried because he has not urinated either and he isn't drinking his water (he hasn't since around 11 this morning).:sniffle: And yes it is a different...

    First-time Cat Owner! Advice?

    Yay! I'm so glad that that is out of the question! :blush: He has just been sleeping all day without having urinated or any bowel movement, so I am hoping tonight he can at least do something or the other, but until the appointment I am going to be very anxious about him :bawling2:

    First-time Cat Owner! Advice?

    Thanks for the advice! I hand fed him some food coated in pumpkin puree and he ate just about a small handful! I made a vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully I can get an ultrasound on him to make sure he is okay. I noticed he's also been licking his bum, does that mean he is...

    Thank you so much! I'm glad to be part of this community of loving cat parents! I told the vet this morning and they literally told me to wait a day to see what's wrong and made me an appointment for Sunday which is so far considering he isn't eating :( (Switching vets because of this) I knew...

    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...
