Sick cat

My cat is 1 1/2 years old and he had recently come down sick. He has really thick drool coming out of his mouth pink spots on his tongue he won't eat or drink but I got him eating wet cat food he smells like a dead animal and all he wants to do is sleep all day I asked my mom what to give him and she said to give him pepto bismol vegetable oil and pedialyte. He has never acted like this before. Can someone help me please

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

No pepto bismol.

Then what can I give him to help him eat and drink his water

This is what he looks like

Have you put any rat/mouse poison down around the house? Is there any chemical you can think of that he might have ingested? Think hard.

My boyfriends uncle out rat poison in and around his house to kill the rats and mice

He's been like this since the 31st

Was this cat going outside before he got sick?

I don't understand. Was the cat at your boyfriends uncles house?

Yea he goes outside and stays gone for a couple days then comes home

No he stays with us cause I live with my boyfriend

So he was out on Halloween?

The night before he came home when I was at work and I noticed him drooling real bad when I came home

He even has 2 pink spots on his tongue

It looks to me like he ate something poisonous. It's just a guess. But that's usually what causes thick drool, lethargy and anorexia. Without knowing what he ate I can't say what to give him.

Can you afford to take him to a vet?

No I called a vet and they said it would cost 221$ for him but I will keep trying to get him to eat and drink thank you for helping me

Are the pink spots raised?

Call every vet in your area. There may be one cheaper.

Please don't use pepto bismol. It is toxic for cats.

No they are not raised they are just there
