Our cat is nine months old (male) and has always been a lively cat.
A few days ago he went of his food. This morning he vomited what looked like chicken soup. Obviously, he hasn't had any soup!
We took him to the vet (we live just outside Bangkok). The vet took his temp and it was 105. She then gave him two injections and some supplements to give by oral syringe.
The vet says he just has a flu like virus but he still seems really ill (he's been back from the vets for about 3 hours).
He whimpers a lot, drools on and off and smacks his lips for the last few hours (since he was force fed his supplements to stop dehydration and to give him some vitamins). He seems to have stopped vomiting though. He seems very depressed and just tries to sleep.
The problem I have is the standard of animal care here is not the same as in the west and I'm not sure the vet was correct in just saying he's got a flu type virus after a quick physical and temperature check.
Any ideas?
