Our cat, Panther, recently went MIA for 3 days. We found him hiding under the bed smelling terrible and acting out of character. He's usually a friendly, talkative cat that comes when called. He wouldn't come out even for food and took forever to shoo out. He timidly ate and kept himself low to the ground, but refused water despite smacking his mouth from it being dry from dehydration. After eating a bit, he peed a lot on a rug (always been a litterbox cat). Pee was normal. No poo under bed, a bit of pee though.
We took him to the emergency animal hospital where they told us there was nothing wrong with him. He had no injuries, his heart and lungs sounded fine, his bowels were also good, no temperature, no palpable knots or sore spots. We opted to get him some IV fluids since he'd been without water for days and may have gotten dehydrated. Now for the last 2 days, he's hidden in our basement from us, ate but not visibly drank, and acted generally sketched out. He has pooped and peed on the floor.
Panther is 7 years old, normal weight, no health conditions, is up to date on all his shots, including rabies, and hadn't been outside or in the basement since well before this started. The night prior to his disappearance, he was on the sofa being rubbed and purring. No changes were made in the house, no new animals in the neighborhood.
Anyone's previous experience, knowledge, or guesses are much appreciated! We've attempted to take him to his regular vet, but cannot catch him.
