Hi
There’s a colony of about 20 cats in my backyard that i feed daily
There are many threats to them, like mosquitoes, rain, dogs, Texas heat, and maybe viruses that im probably not aware of. I have used pet friendly insecticide and set fly traps to deal with the flying insects and maintain a clean environment for them. But since my neighbor cut down my backyard trees that are technically his due to property lines, all my cats have moved to different places because of the sun. And i lost a black kitten this past Saturday unexpectedly, but she was a really frail underdeveloped kitten.. i did what i could to help her get socialized and spend nights in my garage with my other cats but it was too late.
So now i have this older, bigger kitten that’s about 8 months. I took him to get neutered last month, along with vaccinations for rabies, FVRCP, and FeLv. He was fine this past 2 weeks but since yesterday night, he’s been not eating and just now i saw him move around kinda slow, not wanting to play with his sister, and i saw him try to poop but nothing came out. Only 2 symptoms i saw so far but i wanna make sure i can help him out before it worsens. What could i do? Could he be constipated? No other cat is acting out of the normal and the mosquitoes have always been around but now it’s less than before. He’s afraid of me yet eats a lot, i feed them up to 4 times daily but i think that should stop
