Hello.

Following the last weeks fight, Oscar has been displaying some WEIRD characteristics like losing weight, not eating, and not going to the bathroom. He has somehow got the scab to come off his injury on his back.

Yesterday night after going to the bathroom for like 2 secs he drags up butt across the floor. I thought OMG!! Worms. He hasn't let me look all the way but I think he has them.

All he does is sleep and meow. I called the vet today and tomorrow we have an apt for lab work.

This will be the first time, he will be going to the vet besides going to get neutered. I am very nervous. I'm not sure how sick he is. He is my baby. Do you think I'm making to much of the situation?

Not weird. Not good more like it. Glad he is going to the vet.

You should get him to the vet's as soon as possible. Worms usually do not make a cat that sick. Its something more then the worms. If he has not been treated for the fight wounds, he very well can have more infection inside his body. Worms are the least of your worrys. Get him to the vet.

Sounds more like constipation than worms, and that can be very serious.
