Hi,
Let me start by saying that we already have a vet appointment scheduled for this afternoon, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this and what it turned out to be with your fur baby.
My cat is an 11 year old, female, tabby, who has recently been showing possible signs of arthritis. She has been limping a lot, but not all of the time. Seems to go away after moving for a little bit.
However, recently (within the last 48 hours or so), she's stopped eating, drinking water, using her litter box, and yowls every time I try to move her or pick her up. Also, over the last day or two, she's started sleeping in our bed, or in the cat bed on the floor (which she never used to use), so it's very "out of character" for her. When she lays down, she almost motionless and doesn't like to be moved at all. She also has pretty bad breath, which she's never had before either.
Any thoughts, comments, past experience would be appreciated. Just worried as to what it may be. Also, anyone who's experienced this, and went to a vet as well, could you pass on any test information that they may have done? Obviously, I would think they would do a blood and urine analysis, but not sure if there's anything else I should ask about.
Thank you!
