Fritos, who is my oldest cat at 8 years old and has always been my favorite "baby" even though your not supposed to pick favorites, has not been feeling well for a while now. I've noticed off and on for the past month or so, he'll have days where he just lies around all day sleeping and when you pick him up he feels stiff........like he doesn't want picked up..........which is very unusual for him, because he's always been the kind of cat that goes floppy and purry when you pick him up. When he's laying there on the chair his pupils are usually dilated like he's either in pain or just not feeling good. Thursday morning he didn't follow me out to the kitchen like he and the other 3 cats always do for their canned food breakfast, I brought him out to his dish and he didn't even sniff at it and just quickly walked away and went back to his spot on my chair. So I took him to the vet Thursday afternoon, she did find that he has tapeworms, but she didn't think that would be causing his symptoms, she also did bloodwork which she said came back looking pretty good. Since I have 4 cats I can't say for certain if he's munching on dry food throughout the day, since we leave it sitting out all day, I also have no idea if he's peeing and pooping because again........I have 4 cats and I don't know who does what. Anyhow the vet said her best guess would be maybe he has a UTI and she gave me antibiotics for him and enough wormers for all 4 cats and a pill popper to make the pill giving easier. She said in 2-3 days he should start getting better if this was the case. Well he is still acting the same and still not eating, last night I put up all the dry food, thinking this way he'd definately be hungry with nothing to munch all night and he still had no interest in the food I am really worried about him. What's worse is since twice a day I have to hold him down and squirt disgusting smelling medicine down his throat, he acts like he doesn't trust me now and that really breaks my heart. If he's got to be sick, I at least want to be the one to comfort him, he's changed his sitting spot to upstairs instead of my chair in the living room. Does anybody have any ideas?
