Even if you didn’t see it happen its possible he stepped in a hole etc. Since he seems affected badly, by not putting weight on it, I recommend taking him to a vet in the morning if he is still limping!

I Have Been Agonizing Over This For 2 Days Now. Last Monday I Took My…
I have been agonizing over this for 2 days now. Last Monday I took my 14 year old cat to the vet because he had stopped eating and drinking. X-Ray showed what the vet thinks is abdominal cancer. After talking to my vet decided that surgery/chemo would not be an option for me and she prescribed steroids which may help and gave him fluids. He perked up a tad after fluids and would eat maybe a quarter to half a can of wet food a day. Since Friday though I have not been able to get him to eat anything (he did come out and lick the food yesterday but would not eat) and all he does is lay under the computer chair. He will not sleep in the bed with me which is something he has done his whole life. I plan to call the vet first thing tomorrow morning, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts.

Dawn Ferara, DVM No, do not use or give human medicine to any animal unless instructed to by your vet.

debra yuhasz I wouldn’t chance it. Human meds are usually stronger than pet meds and can do more harm than good. It’s not wise to give any meds unless instructed by a vet. A lot of human meds are toxic to animals.

My Overweight Calico Cat, Her Name Is Raja, Has Some Kind Of Sickly-sweet Smelling Dark…
My overweight calico cat, her name is Raja, has some kind of sickly-sweet smelling dark discharge coming out of her butt, i can’t tell if it’s her anus or vagina. The skin around the base of the tail and lower back is also super sensitive. She has just today started showing signs of pain but the discharge has been there for weeks. What’s going on?

Briana Precord She is spayed, about 6 years ago. She is 7. I know I need to bring her to a vet, I just haven’t had the money, but ill have enough soon. I just wanted to know what it might be and if there’s anything I can do in the meantime. I’ve tried to see where it’s coming from but it’s very hard to tell and she is finicky when I try to look. If I had to guess though I would say her anus.

Briana Precord I was thinking along the lines of anal sacs issues too, but nothing I looked up described what’s going on. Ill just have to wait until our vet sees her. But anyways, thank you for helping me out, I appreciate it!

Anonymous first: spay her. this will PROBABLY help to cut down on aggression issues with the new cat.
second: go younger. older cats seem to accept younger/smaller cats better.
third: i would wait until after the move, just because bringing home a new cat prior to a move is a LOT of change for that cat to handle, and you’ll want introductions to be slow (at least a couple weeks of no-contact aside from sniffing under a shut door).
in the interim, research methods of bringing a second cat into the home. there’s a lot of info out there, and doing it right can mean the difference between getting along and wanting to kill each other.
You need to take him to the vet. Try calling a local rescue, the humane society or even friends to see if they can help with money.
sometimes my parents, im 13, wont do that, they dont seem to care or at least my dad doesnt, also my dad works to much to go o the vet with my mom
I would see if you can borrow from someone ,also like was already said call your local shelters they might have knowledge or your local vets. Take some time make some calls . Vets may also discount their rate or offer a credit card through them or payment plan. you really need to act fast an animal not eating is serious and the ending won’t be good. So I cant stress enough act as quickly as possible. good luck to you and you kitten.
Some places may have volunteers to come out and help transport the kitten. Or if you have a local animal control officer you can tell them you have a sick kitten who needs help. Unfortunately sometimes they may euthanize the kitten, so you need to ask what will happen to him if they pick him up. Some shelters/rescues will do whatever is in their power to save the lives on the animals who come to them while others don’t have the resources and are forced to euthanize sick animals.
