Hello
My cat is 5 yrs old. I love him so much. Pleeaseeee help.

About 2.5 weeks ago, I found him abnormal, inactive and quiet. On day, I found that he didn't walk well, always laid down on floor. I took him to the vet. Had blood test with -ve result. The vet said he might have pain on his back so gave him pain killers for a week. During this 1st week, had seen the vet twice, he still ate on his own and his walk seems improved a little bit but still no jumping as normal. After taking the pain killers for a week, he started vomiting and refused to eat. I took him back to the vet again, had urine test with -ve result and gave him antibotics and appetite stimulus and drugs for gastric. During this 2nd week, had seen the vet for 3 times with not much improvement, still vomiting and refused to eat and drink.

Eventually he was hospitalised since he was dehydrated and was on drip for 3 days, during which he had blood test, urine test, x-ray, ultrasound on kidney. Found that there were toxics accumulated in his kidney probably due to no food and water in the past couple days. The vet said he might suffer from kidney failure which also caused pain on his back. Luckily he ate very well on his own in hospital, no drug taken, no vomiting and felt more energetic (don't know if he could jump or not since he was in a cage.) On day 3, his blood test in particular for kidney showed normal result. So he was discharged on day 3.

Now, the problem is he's back home, his walk is much better but still doesn't jump as normal, still a bit quiet. Also he refused to eat on his own again although he does drink water. I tried to feed the food he ate in the hospital (Hills can food), warmed up the food, whiskas treats, iams beef (which he only licked all the source without eating the meat). I need to force feed him. PLEASE ADVISE what can I do? What's wrong with him?

I pray for him almost in every single minute. I love him so much. Please help.

SunnyKing
