My 1 year old cat "Motu" has stopped eating completely for the last 2 or 3 days....
It all started when he came back home one day with a limp on left hind leg. The pain did seem unbearable, he was walking on 3 legs. In any case once we realised he wasn't getting any better he was taken to a vet. The vet assured us that nothing was seriously wrong, and prescribed 1/4th a tablet of Asprin ( ) per day for 5 days. He did get better, started using his hind leg again, though with caution. After a fortnight or so, he seemed almost completely normal, and he ventured out into the open again.
However when he returned, not only did the pain in his leg seem to have aggravated. it also seemed to have brought with it a complete disinterest for food. He wasn't even responding to salami, or fish! He growingly was turning weaker and more reluctant to move about.
So we decided that it was time to take him back to the vet, who diagnosed him with slight fever. , injected him with certain medicines, and glucose.
We still have yet to see whether there are any signs of improvement, however, if anyone were able to advise or guide, we would be more than grateful.
