Hi all, I have an elderly cat, nearly 16yo. In the past year she's lost a lot of weight and wobbles when she walks, she spends a lot of time in her basket and only really gets up to eat/drink/use litter box. When I took her for her annual vaccination two weeks ago the very lovely vet kindly told me she couldn't be vaccinated as my cat is too frail and may not survive it. She also tactfully told me that my cat could eat what she likes etc as she's likely to move on at some point this year, so just make her comfortable :-( if her quality of life deteriorates she said it may be time to bring her in..,
Anyway, for three days now my cat has had bad diahhorrea, no vomiting but stools like water. I've tried giving her turkey but it made her worse, so back to her usual Hills biscuit food and water. I haven't taken her to the vet as my cat hates it and I feel it's unlikely she can be treated.
Does anyone know if there's any food I could use to help her? I'm thinking she's going to pass away due to her frailty and the diahhorrea or maybe I will need to take her to the vet tomorrow as this could all be too much for her to cope with and it's cruel to keep her struggling on?
