Hi everyone,
I'm bringing Duncan to the vet today. I can't figure out what is going on with him. He just doesn't seem to be "right". I am so frustrated because there isn't anything concrete to go by. I noticed for the first time about 5 days ago that he didn't seem to be following me around as much as he normally does. Nothing seemed terribly wrong...just that he wasn't as active as he normally seemed. In the past few days this is what I have observed:
*He sleeps...a lot.
*Seems uncomfortable. He doesn't walk if he doesn't have to, it seems. It looks like he is having some discomfort walking, esp. in his back legs. It is like he holds his back legs closer together than what is normal to him.
*Seems that he isn't urinating as much. I have observed him urinate on Sunday afternoon. He didn't strain, although he didn't seem to urinate very much.
*His eyes don't seem "right".
*He seems to frequently reposition himself. Laying down seems to be most comfortable with him.
*He isn't playing with Jellybean.
As I have more than one cat, it is difficult for me to tell if he is having normal bowel movements or urinating normally. I think that there is less to clean up over the past few days. I suspect he isn't going as he normally does. His food is also downstairs, so I cannot tell if he is eating much. I do notice that he is rarely going downstairs, as he is almost always sleeping. I am bringing Duncan to the vet this morning. Everything is just so vague. I just have a feeling something isn't right. Does anybody have ANY ideas? Sorry this is so long, but, I am just worried.
