3 yr old cat not eaten for 5 days

miggz321 May 04, 2006 01:40 PM

i have a 3 yr old cat and about 5 days ago i caught him with a robin in his mouth in our front room. i obviously took the bird out of his mouth as it was still alive but as it was no longer able to fly i had it put out of its misery. since this event my cat has been vomitting a lot and in the past four days he hasnt been eating properly. he has had about 3 sachets of food over the last four days when he would usually have at least 3 a day.
also, the other night, he was breathing like he had something stuck in his throat but on a quick inspection i found that there was nothing blocking anywhere that he would let me get to.
im really worried about him because if he continues to not eat im afraid that he will not be around much longer so this is my final resort before taking him to the vets and paying loads of money to find out something that i could possibly find out on here for free.
please help me if you can!

Unfortunately we really can't help that much when a cat is as seriously ill as yours seems to be. You really need to get her to the vet quickly - she could get a serious liver disorder if she doesn't eat soon. The breathing funny is a real tip-off that something serious is going on!

Good luck! Let us know what the vet says.

Hi,

You may want "free" help but there isn't anything that anyone can do for you on a message board. The best advice would be to get your cat to a vet ASAP as she is seriously, possibly critically, ill.

Your cat need a thorough examination by a vet, and most likely x-rays as well to determine what exactly is going on. Please don't wait even one more day.
