    You need to take him to the vet. Call your vet and describe the situation and tell them what you can afford to pay.

    You absolutely need to take him to the vet - cost is not an issue (and sometimes negotiable), there's a beautiful helpless baby in pain, and he's depending on you. Please let us know what happens.

    Thanks for the replies. I think we may be able to get him to a vet soon.
    Also, I forgot to mention he pees and theres drops of blood in it?
    I googled it and I'm guessing it's a UTI, I also read that his kidneys may fail. I'm so scared.
    I tried getting him to drink but he won't. I know he's dehydrated because he's making weird sounds with his mouth, and it's agap a little.

    You really need to get him to a Vet NOW. You are neglecting him and causing him to suffer by not seeking medical assistance

    As the saying goes, if you can't afford the Vet, you can't afford the pet.

    If he has a UTI he is almost totally blocked and is in pain. Please take him to an emergency vet.

    Have the people call friends and relatives to chip in a bit.

    OR - he can be surrendered to a no-kill shelter if they can't afford the fees, and the shelter will get the vet work done. This might be a good option as it is plain he is beat up on where he lives now. The shelter can find him another home.

    If he can't pee, he will die of uremic poisoning, or his bladder will burst. Get him to a vet now and worry about the money later!

    My mom is taking him to a vet now. We're using an emergency credit card.
    I feel bad hearing how i'm neglecting him, i dont mean to i just can't drive so I can't do anything myself, i've just been sitting with him all day and periodically trying to get him to drink.
    I posted here and looked up everything I could find as I waited for my mom to get home.

    We have other pets, we can afford to keep them all happy and healthy and give them the best, it's just lately money has been very hard. : (

    They're leaving now.
