Hi everyone, my cat of 3 years old fell ill about 4 days ago, she completely stopped being playful all of her energy is completely gone. She has spent the last 3-4 days just sleeping constantly, between the 3-4 days i've gotten her to eat a couple maybe a few times at best. Her nose is dry, she has a fever. I took her to the ER this morning and they injected her with fluids for the dehydration and confirmed she did have a temp of 104.
They also prescribed clavamox an antibiotic which i gave her via oral syringe this morning.
I had to decline diagnostics because of finances and I wanted to see if her condition would change with the antibiotics/hydration.
IT HASN'T.
She is still completely wiped out, has no energy and she's slept a solid 8 hours since our trip to the ER. So far I've just left her alone to rest. After waiting gruelingly hoping she would get up on her own, I woke her up used the dropper filled it with water and made her drink. She looks really bad, just completely worn out. I feel completely lost/helpless watching her suffer.
My plan is to take her to a local vet/hospital first thing tomorrow morning where it will be cheaper to get the diagnostics done...
Also, this morning she was out in the yard and I saw her vomit a yellowish gooey colored discharge. She is primarily an outdoor cat ..
What could be going on? What can I do until i'm able to make it to the vet tomorrow for the diagnostics to make her feel better?
At the ER they gave me a syringe for food, should I make her eat? She fights me pretty strongly even when I try to give her the water via dropper.
ANY SUGGESTIONS would be HUGELY appreciated. I am FREAKING OUT and the thought of losing her just breaks my heart.
Please if there's anything you can think of reply to this post.
Thankyou so much!!!
