You need to find away to get him to the vet. I worry he may have an obstruction and, if this is the case, he needs vet care ASAP.
Do you have friends or family that could loan you money? Have you tried applying for CareCredit?

Try contacting your nearest animal shelter, Humane Society and rescue groups. They oftentimes have funds set aside for individuals that are in need of assistance like you.
Also, see if you qualify for Care Credit. You would have funds available immediately if you do. (Link posted above).

I do not believe this is something he can wait a week for treatment for, especially since he has been getting progressively worse over the last few days.
You *MUST* find a way to get him to a vet. Pawn jewelry or anything you are able to. If you cannot get him to a vet and he continues to decline, you will need to surrender him to a shelter, vet or rescue. I know that is NOT what you want to hear.

Try enticing him to eat with some Gerber all meat baby food (stage 2 Chicken& Chicken gravy, Turkey & Turkey gravy or Beef & Beef Gravy). Make sure the food does not contain garlic or onion.
Feed him small quantities.
Get him some unflavored Pedialyte and syringe this to him every 30 minutes.
Put honey on his gums to help give him a boost of energy.
The above mentioned is temporary TLC care. I want to reiterate that he needs veterinary care. No one on the internet can diagnosis him or offer appropriate medical treatment. We would need to be examine by a vet in order for an appropriate treatment plan to be formed.

My mom who we don't speak ,I broke down and asked her to help ,she used her care credit and I was able to get him into his vet..his blood work,xrays and exam shows all normal levels..he doesn't have any inlarged organs ,or any thing his vet said would be horrible such as feline aids,cancer pancreas ect. He said he may have kitty flu which doesn't always shows gross eyes or nose,or bacteria infection ..he is gonna stay a night or two to re hydrate him since he's horribly dehydrated and re run test tommarro and if all is still ok send him home on meds
Happy you were able to get him to the vet! Getting him hydrated can do wonders. Please keep us posted!
