HISTORY: My gorgeous kitty, Tyson is a 6 month old male, has had both injections and was only castrated 3 weeks ago.
We let him out for the first time about a week and a bit ago and he was very happy being outisde - we hardly saw him!
PROBLEM: Since Thursday I noticed that my cat was not eating as much and thought nothing of it. To be honest, I thought he was just too happy with being outside and forgot to eat!
On Friday 2 days ago he only had a few bites of his breakfast and drank his (cat) milk. Come Saturday, I was about to leave the house and left some treats (Dreamies) out for him so he doesn't try to follow me out. He turned his nose up at them. I tried a meaty stick (which he normally LOVES) and he turned his nose up at this as well. Next thing I know, he vomited watery yellow bile. That's when I cancelled all my plans and I took him straight to the vets.
On the way in the car he had vomited once more yellow bile. The vet checked his temperature, belly and his weight and said all is fine and cannot feel any tensing in the belly (which is what would happen if he had something stuck in there). Gave him an anti-sickness jab and said to feed him in the next hour or so once kicked in.
When we were in the car on the way home from the vets, he had diarrhea - very watery - and lots of it!
I fed him an hour or so later as told by the vet - and my kitty only had half of a very small tin of gormet (cat pate) - and that was all he seemed to stomach.
PRESENTLY: - 24 hours after eating this 1/2 tin, he has turned his nose up at his food again! He is drinking, and has not vomited since and only passed urine once to my knowledge. He is responsive and has been playing with his ball and with his favourite laser pen. Surprisingly though, he has refused to go outside. He is extremely quiet (normally he always gets the last word in). He won't jump up any higher than our sofa. Is he in pain? He hasn't been crying and has been running around a bit... I just don't know what to think anymore
I'm worried his not eating is going to take a long-term affect on him, as he is only young and I trust this first year is the most important time to keep him fit and healthy.
Tomorrow, I have to go into work - but will try to get home early and book him straight back into the vets. Any ideas what could be wrong with him?
And more importantly- should I be worried??? I've been so emotional over this - he is the love of my life. Please help :'(
Thank you.
