Hi everyone, frantically trying to figure out whats wrong with my cat, i stumbled upon this website. Kareem is 6 and a half years old who is a strictly indoor cat(Maine Coon?). He is very loving, always wanting to sit on our laps or be very close by. Last night when my wife got home from worked, she noticed he was acting kind of strange; he was hiding in an unusual place. He always greets us at the door when we come home. When she found him he was hiding in the closet, panting like a dog (tongue out) with his mouth open. We got him out of there but he just seemed really spooked. It was almost as if he was scared of the open floor. We got him into the car, cranked the a/c, and drove to the vet. He seemed to have calmed down considerably. We arrived at the emergency vet, they checked his temp, etc and said all signs were normal. This morning, he was still acting strange. Not panting anymore but stillnot his normal self. I took the day off to stay with him. He was still hiding and not being himself at all. I decded to take him in again. As soon as we got into the truck, he starts acting normal again. Giving me nudges, sitting on my lap, forcing me to pet him. Got to the vet, they checked the basics again and everything seems to be normal. Got home, and now hes hiding behind the couch again.
A month ago he had an allergic reaction to a flea bite. He was given corozone and advantage. I saw him scratching a bit so i reapplied the advantage this morning. Hes had fleas before so ive kinda ruled that out. Im guessing maybe a bee sting or something has thrown him off? Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Im very concered about my buddy; any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
