About once a day now, he'll try and knock over the water container and take a few sips, and I've notice he only urinates a small amount, not sure of any stool because all cats use the same litter. Outside of his short breaths, lack of appetite, and dehydration, he seems to be fine aside from his extreme tiredness.
Look at what you wrote here. And add feline leukemia to the mix yet. If your cat is having problems breathing, he may very well have pneumonia as your vet indicated. An x-ray will tell you if he has fluid in his lungs and/or around his heart. If you're not breathing, you're dying. Get your cat to another vet if you're not happy w/the one you have. My cat Puddy developed pneumonia and was dead w/in an hour. By the time I got her to my vet, she died in my arms. I have another cat, Pigeon, w/cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure and she's on Lasix to prevent the fluid from building up. Don't pinch pennies when it comes to your cat's health. You said that you have money to take care of your cats when in need. Well, your cat is in need. An x-ray isn't that expensive and it could mean the difference between your cat living and dying. Time is of the essence. Get going! And please update us and let us know how Cat is doing.
