    Hi Jen,
    There could be lots going on. Certainly the heat could be a reason. Is your cat an outside cat? If it’s an inside cat be sure that your cat has access to fresh water too. Try a different type of food–like stinky canned cat food or can tuna to see if you can get your cat to eat. Make sure you have a fan to circulate air if it’s inside to help with the heat.
    If you cat continues to not eat and isn’t drinking or peeing or pooping, please contact your vet.
    good luck!

    Keep your cat cool and hydrated , fresh water and a fan would be good .

    Hi Lauren, thanks for the help. My cat is doing a lot better, she still isn’t eating her normal food but she is eating small bits of chicken. She did try to eat her normal food after eating the chicken and she threw up a small amount of it however she is starting to feel playful again. She is drinking and using the litter box as normal.

    Hi kelly,
    She is an outdoor/ indoor cat and has many places where she likes to hide. She also has fresh water in both the garage where she sleeps and on our back porch. She is eating little pieces of chicken however when i offered it to her she ate them too fast and threw it back up. She uses the litter box as usual and is drinking water normally. Thank you for your help.

    Could you possibly get the bandages back on yourself? If the Vet has said 3/4 days its too soon for them to be off the wounds. If you can’t get them on then you need to phone your Vet and ask advice. 

  2. Kelly Furgason

    Most vets will just let you come back in and they can help you put them back on. Give a call to your vet and ask to come back in.

    Puppies, like babies test things with their mouths especially if teething.

    You do need to watch her though if she swallowed a peice of wood it could cause all sorts of serious problems. Try and distract her with a toy or a treat…..hopefully she will grow out of it. You could train her not to chew wood too….you’d have to catch her in the act…..calmly and firmly say NO get her to come to you, lots of praise and a treat. Its not too soon for calm sensible training.

    Hi Brittany, if she was my dog I would take her straight to your Vet. Therr could be numerous things wrong with her eye….something in it; an infection; a condition called Entropian where the eyelashes rub on the eye; an ulcer….lots of things. Please don’t risk her eyesight by trying to treat it yourself. Take her to a Vet its the only way you will know whats wrong and have it treated properly. 

    Good luck!

    Vomiting and stumbling indeed means a very sick pet. There is one thing to do – see a vet. By the sound of it, see a vet immediately.
