One of my ferals is Orange Cat, big tom, neutered a few months ago, one of my babies. I love him so much. This is what has happened. Hubby saw him outside in the front, moving around, walking ok. sitting, everything seemed normal. About half an hr later I looked out my window and saw that he was panting. I went out to him and he was breathing thru his mouth and drooling. It's hot, so I got some cool water and put it on his paws and wiped some on his body to try and cool him off. He went off a little way and was doing the same. Long story short, My local TNR gal came over with another feral kitten that I'm going to socialize, and we showed her and her hubby OC. it looked like he was dying. He pooped and it was watery and bloody, and he has some blood on the top of his tail like he had been fighting. they said to take him to the er and have him put to sleep as he was dying. I can't do that yet. I 've been checking on him, and he is no longer panting or anything. He is now lying on his belly and not on his side like he was dying. Now when I call his name he looks up and he seems a little better. What to do. I don't want him to suffer tonight, but I don't want to let him be put down if he just needs TLC. If he's not better tomorrow, I'll do right by him, but what can I do to help him tonight. He's about 20lbs, and nothing but pure love for me and hubby. He's the one that when I took him in to be neutered, that when it was time for him to come home, they wouldn't put him back in the crate as he was too mean. NOT..... He came up to me, meowed, rolled on his back for a belly rub and went right into his crate. I can't let him go without giving him a chance to rest and maybe recover. Don't know what happened. Hubby was mowing and he's concerned that he may have rolled over him, but I don't think that is possible with the mower, (not mowing at the time, just moving). What to do.. Any pain meds I may have that I could crush and give him. anything
calling the vet, they say they have to see him first. that is 125 going into the door. I just need advice, something, till my vet opens tomorrow morning
