Oh my gosh I am so sorry you are going through this. As far as firming up the stool 1- 2 teaspoons per 5.5 oz can of plain canned pumpkin will help with that.    I wish i had answers on the others  but I don't just sending good thoughts your way.   I hope you can get them to the vet soon a cat hiding is a bad sign.  I would reccommed if it is a money issue you take Blanket first.

You've got to stop the cat from eating clay litter. If you can switch to something like S'wheat Scoop or Mewsprint for awhile that can help. The S'wheat Scoop is wheat and won't hurt her if she eats some, the Mewsprint is pellets of recycled newspaper (which can be better when you've got loose stool like that as it doesn't stick to the cat). Cats who eat litter can have what is called a pica or it can be a sign of something more serious, and only your veterinarian can tell you that, but she does have to stop eating it in the mean-time.

She said she was going to take them to the vet I hope she updates us that she went. I was especially worried about her 16 yr old cat that was wheezing and is now hiding.

I guess all we can do is wait and see, and keep our fingers crossed that everything comes out alright. Its so scary when one cat is ill, never mind the entire household!

Great glad she is being seen and maybe the vet will be able to give you some advice on the others - he may also know someone in the area that can help with assistance paying his bills if the other one sounds serious

Mewlittle, is your veterinarian affiliated with the Farley Foundation? That's a group that helps people pay urgent veterinary bills. You have to pay it back, but you work out a plan with them.

The vet didnt do a xray is excuse because he puts all the cats under to do it and he didnt want to do that and he did a idexx complet 17 chem/lytes a cbc blood test he didnt give me any amswers why she was having breathing problems he was saying it was a mechanicle problem due to old age i don't think so he also said her blood test was good for her age excep being enemic but her red and white cells was normal and her PLT was hi which is clotting her MCV is low which made him say she was anemic

Here is her test resalts pictures


Edited because i forgot to remove my full name on the paper lol

Nothing all he did was give her ear drops for her ears :/ because he thinks her breathing problem is a mechanicle issue
