Hello I recently got a new cat named Nibbler. Nibbler is a skinny stray that was yowling at my mother's country house door. I have taken this very adorable little guy in and he has recently had a clean bill of health from a vet that my mother took him to which almost finishes all his shots.
The problem is the past few days he is:
-lethargic (but does get up and look around he is still VERY inquisitive and curious, the only time ive seen him zip around was when he caught a glimpse of the bird cage)
-has a dry nose and warm ear tips
-and has started to hack as if to vomit but nothing comes up (night only for the past 2 nights)
I am booking him another visit tomorrow, but I would really appreciate some insight on this...has anyone else had a cat with similar problems??
The little guy is sooo hungry ALL the time, I am trying to go slow since he is so thin but anyone with a little wet food or some kibble is his best friend. Also I have not seen him drink water (I finally watered some milk down and gave it to him which he did drink), but he uses the catbox regularly, and without a problem.
It's worthwhile to note he must be so stressed but other than the symptoms above you wouldn't know it--the guy is a lil' trooper, nothing bothers this poor kitty, he is still sweet as pie. I am worried about him he just seems so fragile!
You wouldn't believe it but this cat looks fat in the picture below from when my mom heard his first raspy cries:
