I adopted an older (8ish) cat from the shelter about 6 weeks ago. She was a stray. She has stopped eating, is losing fur on her chest and back legs and on her neck. She isn't wearing a collar, so that isn't rubbing her neck. She threw up white froth twice on Saturday. We went to the vet yesterday. He ruled out FeLV, and sent blood the the lab to get tested. We should hear something today. She is on antibiotics also. I haven't had a cat as an adult, so I never had to get medicine down one. Of course, she fights it, but my husband and I manage to get it down her. Anyone have suggestions to make it easier? It is liquid in a dropper. We also used a childs medicine syringe to get some water and cat food gravy down her yesterday. She was kind of mad at me this morning when I left for work, but she did go downstairs and use the litterbox for the first time in over 24 hours! She hasn't had any accidents that I can tell.
She is such a sweet cat. The vet checked her out right after I brought her home, but he says that she may have been sick when she joined the family. She didn't act sick! She brought socks from the basement upstairs in the middle of the night and would run to the fridge whenever she heard the door opening!.
Just wanted to talk about this.
Thanks!
