Hello,
it has been a while since i've been on here, but i hope that everyone and their cats are doing well and healthy
I still haven't been able to find enough time to make a post dedicated to my late cats, I hope to do that by the end of the year.
My ferals have all been healthy thankfully and some have had little health problems but are all doing fine except for one (possibly)
My male semiferal (Blanco) is a year and a half old, and he's been neutered since March. He spends his nights in my garage (kept cool), along with a couple others, and eats wet and dry food mixed with lysine powder. Right now he's been walking kinda slowly, but he is able to run and jump on stuff if he has to. It seems that he's really uncomfortable somewhere in his stomach area (lower body). He still eats, especially the wet food cans, but I think he could eat more since he doesn't finish. I haven't seen him drink water, but that goes for almost all of my outdoor cats. (I have some 6 water bowls scattered around our property)
Blanco has been having this for about 3 days, but he's still acting normal; purring when pet (even gets on two legs to rub against my palm), and typically rolls around. But once he walks around places he looks like he's in a mild pain. I want to do things the most correct way possible, and would like to seek advice. Here's a new format, i'll update it if necessary:
Problem: Outdoor cat in mild pain, walks uncomfortably
Causes: Unknown, worms?, digestive/urinary problem?
Solutions:
- Let time heal (if problem doesn't worsen) & provide extra care and supplements
- Vet visit (last resort)
Notes:
- Another male cat (Niño) had a similar problem earlier this month. He was walking kinda weird and ate a little. Looked to have low energy but is doing fine now, back to normal behavior
- Blanco has always been a vocal cat, and his meows are always sounding like he's in pain, even when he's fine. I just worry since his meows sound more stressful than my other cats, if that makes sense.
- I put "last resort" on vet visit because although I am worried for Blanco, I am recovering from Covid and I'm planning on returning to work and school, so doing a vet visit would stress me financially. It is a possibility but I don't want to go unless it's absolutely necessary. I would like some help regarding what to do, what supplements to give him and keep him hydrated
Many thanks in advance

he's not the only cat i haven't seen go, though.
They always come before myself. I had to learn how to treat wildlife with the antibiotics. I usually use a type of Penicillin called Norocillin. But saw they had Clavamox too there. That's one of the main antibiotics my vet prescribes for my cats.
