Cat is sick? Need advice!

[emo]

The last time he ate was only part of his breakfast yesterday morning. When I go home to check on him at lunch I'll see if he's touched his breakfast. I'm glad that he's been drinking water though!

The part I have a hard time with is that he is so skinny so I worry when he doesn't eat. I've been trying to fatten him up but it's just not working.

I'll keep you posted on what I find at lunch time. He just might have to go to the vet when I get off of work today. I just hate taking him there for everything because it gets so expensive when they don't find anything wrong and then want to see him for a follow-up visit.

If he is losing weight even when he is eating it's time for some bloodwork. Could be kidneys (which is not the end of the world) but there could also be quite some other reasons.

He's been skinny since I adopted him. They attribute it to the IBD. He had bloodwork done a little over a month ago and everything was fine.

Here's what I found when I went home at lunch. His "room" is the bathroom and I found him laying in the shower facing the wall. His ears were cold and his nose was dry. Poor guy didn't even move when I came in.

He has an appt with the vet at 6pm. I'm a little worried that this is going to be an expensive trip.

Keep us updated on how your precious little boy is doing. From what I could see in the picture, he's a hearbreaker!

Oh no. He does not look like he feels good at all. I'm glad you're taking him to the vet. Hopefully it's an easy fix for him.

I will be thinking of you and Clyde.

I know...I feel so bad for him. I did notice that he's been catching crickets and eating them the past couple of weeks. I hope that doesn't have anything to do with him not feeling well. He has me so worried right now!!
