Hello. I Adopted My 12 Year Old Cat Yesterday Around 8:00 Pm, He Hasn’t Peed…

Hello. I adopted my 12 year old cat yesterday around 8:00 pm, he hasn’t peed or pooped since then. But he is still eating regularly and drinking a bowl a day, also he is still his affectionate self. Should I be worried??

    Has he tried using the bathroom by going in the litter box but nothing is coming out?

    I would say that if it has been a while since he has used the bathroom, your best bet is to consult a vet. If he has tried but failed to use the bathroom, there could be some sort of blockage preventing them from using the bathroom. I know with one of my 9 year old cats, he wasn’t able to use the bathroom, and after a bit he would scream in pain when trying. Turned out that he had crystalized urine, very painful but easily treatable with some antibiotics. But even if he doesn’t seem to be trying to use the restroom, it would still be a good idea to consult a vet if it has been a few days simply because if he is drinking and eating normally, it needs to eventually come back out. Better to check early and be all good than to be too late to do anything.

My cat’s name is Tootie
He was 3 years old, in perfectly good health
After his death I’ve done about 5 hours of research for the cause of his death but couldn’t find any answers:(
He had a heavy cold a week prior to his death but the vet told me that there was nothing to worry about, I hope this info helps and RIP Tootie.

    I’m so sorry, Zaid.  Unfortunately, without a necropsy, there’s no real way to know what caused his death.

    Thank you for giving your time to read my question but the problem is that my family members are not keen on the idea of a specialist performing a necropsy on Tootie as we already gave him a proper grave…..
    Can his death be due to heartworms?
    Because the symptoms/signs of a heartworm being present in a cat’s body are compatible with the behavior of my cat and I forgot to add that we recently sent him to the vet due to tens of flea and mosquito bites (the main transmitters of heartworms between cats).

    I doubt heartworms would have been THAT bad THAT quickly.

He is a 10 week old golden doodle with an approximately 1 day duration of diarrhea and soft stools. Sometimes the stool is pudding like in consistency, other times it’s been firmer at first then got watery at the end. Volume has greatly increased as compared to previous days. No know foreign body ingestion, but it is possible.

My Cat Was Taken Into The Vet Yesterday At Around 4pm To Get Checked For…

My cat was taken into the vet yesterday at around 4pm to get checked for a UTI as she has been having some urinary incontinence. We were sent home with Buprenorphine and Maropitant(cerenia) 24mg 4PK For Pain and Nausea.. Since we have been home she has not been wanting to move much or use her hind legs.. when I fed her food she ate it but I am unsure if she has had much water since the fluids the vet gave her.

Is there a reason she is not wanting to use her back legs much and is sitting on her side instead of her butt?

    Hi Krista,

    I did call our local 24 hour emergency hospital and they said to monitor her for any signs of severe lethargy since her appointment yesterday she has seemed fine.. but when I got back home I noticed that she was not normal and was not sitting or using her back legs properly.

    Will continue to monitor her until tomorrows appointment. Do you think it could be because she is in pain?

  2. Chelsea McCrone

    Okay will do, Thank you so much!

  3. Chelsea McCrone

    One more thing. Would you suggest me to give her some plain chicken broth and rice until her appointment in the morning or shall I continue to feed her her normal cat food?

  4. Chelsea McCrone

    Okay I will pick some up after her Urinary Analysis tomorrow morning… Thank you again Krista!

I Have Been Feeding Him Water Through A Straw To Make Sure He Stays Hydrated…

I have been feeding him water through a straw to make sure he stays hydrated.
I am getting concerned that he’s not eating; this isn’t like him.
He just tried to use the litterbox but couldn’t go. Probably because there isn’t much food on his belly.
I have given him two tiny portions of a pepcid tablet today, spaced out over the course of the day to hopefully ease his tummy but I don’t think it worked.
