We took my cat to the vet last Friday because she has been vomiting and acting erratically. We are waiting to hear back about her tests, though we found she lost a pound in the last year. Now she has gotten worse. She vomited again this morning and then did not eat at all today. She was hiding under the bed for most of the day. When she finally came out she could not jump on the bed (something she usually does with ease). A few years back, it was discovered in surgery that she had a hairball lodged in her intestine. Could this have happened again?

Cat losing weight and vomiting
Posted on 2008/10/17 by User -
Tigger is going to the litter box very often and only dribbles. I took him to the vet and they said it's an infection and put him on Clavamox. He didn't have a fever at the vet's office, but does now. This was yesterday. I know the medicine will take a couple of days to start working, but is there anything I can do to help the fever until the medicine kicks in?

kitten is not using litter box
Posted on 2008/10/13 by SarahI had gotten my kitten 4 days ago, and he has not been using his litter box. Instead he has been having accidents behind the couch and has been urinating on rugs and his kitty bed. The litter box I have is accessible and it is in a private location. I have showed him where the litter box was whenever he wakes up or after he eats. He has attempted to use the litter box, but does not succeed, (I see him go in it and go through the motions as if he is going to the bathroom). I have tried to put the litter box where he has accidents, however he still persists on going outside the litter box. Im all out of ideas as to how to get him to use the litter box regularly.

Kitten in grave danger
Posted on 2008/10/01 by UserWe have a 10 day-old kitten, born prematurely, that has has not eaten in about 8 hours, has diarrhea with a little blood, and is VERY lethargic. Its weight is about 2.5 ounces. Is there anything we can do to help keep it alive overnight so we can get it to a vet in the morning?

Kitty Concern
Posted on 2008/09/30 by UserMy 5 year old female cat is losing hair, losing weight, sagging under belly, having accidents in the house, and has started hiding herself under blankets. We do have a one year old and 6 year old and I have been concerned that she could be stressed but now I am wondering if it could be something even more serious. I'm worried.

Back in May of this year we suddenly lost our cat to what was later found to be a form of pancreatitis. Our cat's only symptoms were occassional vomiting. Other than that there was no cause for concern. Our other cat (the sibling of our other cat) is now vomiting occassionally too. What are the chances of this being the same condition? The other odd thing is that after almost ten year Gerber who never meowed, now meow at night all the time. He stops if you pet him. I have palpated his belly and he does not seem to be in any pain or have any masses. Our vet thinks this is meowing (the way it sounds) is a form of loss or grieving of his litter mate. What do you think?
