Worried about dearest cat

22 replies

Very worried about dear cat, 13, not eating much, very sleepy and low purr, which is often.
She doesn’t have a litter tray ( small house, so discourage unless housebound),I think couple of accidents, no smell tho.
Been to vets two weeks ago, seemed ok, I just feel sad, I may not have my dear Abby not much longer.
Am I being sentimental or mad?

Can you take her back to the vet - it sounds as though she's still not quite right, but it may be something treatable - 13 isn't old for a cat nowadays.

007DoubleOSeven · 29/01/2023 22:33

I would also take her back to the vet, they need to reasses.

TheShellBeach · 29/01/2023 22:36

Definitely take her back to the vet's. I hope they can find out what's wrong.

TheShellBeach · 30/01/2023 00:44

It may be something easily treatable. I really hope so.
13 isn't old for a cat.
Did the vet take blood last time you went?

Just an update, slight temperature, vets says urine infection, antibiotic injection to last two weeks and fluid.
Lost-a bit of weight, light fish diet, home now

In my experience antibiotic injections work well on cats; hopefully she should pick up quickly now.

TheShellBeach · 30/01/2023 13:58

That's hopeful, then.
With any luck your cat will pick up soon.

My sister's cat (16 years old) was laid very low with a utility. Before the diagnosis she just lay about, not eating, not going out in the garden which she usually loved. We really thought she might die.
A course of antibiotics made her well again. She was lively, ravenous hungry and affectionate to us again.
Your cat will pick up again.

How's Abby, OP?
Improving, I hope.

Anawilliam850 · 01/02/2023 20:51

It's understandable to be worried about your dear cat. A sudden decrease in appetite, increased sleepiness, and a low purr can be signs of a medical issue and it's always best to err on the side of caution. If your cat has had a recent vet visit and was seemingly okay two weeks ago, it's possible that something new may have developed since then. I would recommend visiting your veterinarian again to have your cat evaluated and rule out any underlying health issues. It's always better to get a professional opinion and address any potential problems sooner rather than later. And please don't worry, you are not being sentimental or mad for being concerned about your cat.

How sad. I am very sorry indeed to see this update.
Pets are family and it's always tragic when they die.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved cat. I have one who is very like her.
Cats seem to wind themselves into their owners' hearts.
She's safe and pain-free now.
Deep condolences.
