Cat Randomly Acting Weird Today. Really Worried

[Elithecat]

Ew, that's pretty bad. I think my roommate has those, too. They're juicy with chemicals. Poor baby

Yaah idk if that’s the issue they said either something toxic affecting his liver or the FIP which is lethal.

I hope it's just the Brillo pad and they can detoxify him. I looked up Brillo pads, and they use real old fashioned Tallow based soap, animal fat and lye. Might have been what attracted him to it in the first place. I will never have those in my house now.

Cats can get poisoned pretty easily. My brother's former cat died after licking a *closed* can of something the handyman left overnight on an in progress job. The little drying dribbles on the side were fatal. I didn't judge him...its a tough mindset to get into, to realize you need to worry about a closed can.

Yeah we checked the house three times for things that were open spilled and nothing except the Brillo pad he chewed on

Another update.. they flushed his system last night and did more test this morning and the blood work came back fine. So I'm assuming FIP is out of the picture. They think he ate something, got bit by spider, scared himself and hurt his back. Bringing him home tonight and seeing how he does, if he starts acting weird they'll send his blood to the lab to test for infectious diseases. I hope that's not the case

I'm sure you can use them, I don't know if that it what caused. Just have to be cautious and keep out of reach from them

So happy to hear he is well enough to come home. Good wishes for you both!

Hes been home since yesterday seems more like himself but he keeps twitching and licking his leg and ears are twitching. Something is freaking him out.. wonder if it’s fleas. I haven’t seen any

You can buy a comb like the vet has, and brush down his spine to see if you find flea dirt.
