I have a 13 year old male Maine Coon mix who's not eating much or drinking much. He hasn't pooped for a couple days (unsure how long as I have another cat too) and he's been very lethargic. I keep seeing him lick his lips like he wants to puke or has too much saliva in his mouth. He's even growled at me when I picked him up and when I pet him which is completely out of his normal behavior. And he's been avoiding me when normally I can't be in a room without him in it with me.
He's only ever had one issue and that was about a year and an half ago. He was having diarrhea and vomiting (with blood in it) constantly. He was medicated and recovered with no issues. We were however warned about his kidneys. The Vet said that there wasn't a problem quite yet but we would surely see it later. When I looked up the normal symptoms of kidney disease it said they drink a lot and pee lot due to being unable to hold the liquid anymore. I'm not seeing that in my cat.
If possible I would like to avoid the Vet as there's no money in the budget for it at the moment, only if there's an emergency.
Thanks for any advice you can give me!
