My cat began showing signs of really being sick on Thursday (wouldn't eat or drink, kept himself away from people). Up until then he had been eating a lot (as usual), drinking a lot (not as usual), and urinating a lot more than usual. (Should have been my first clue.) I took him to the vet that day and was told he was dehydrated, had a fever and an infection, and was diabetic. They gave him 3 fluid injections for the dehydration as well as an insulin injection. When we got home that evening he ate a small handful of dry food and had a little water, which had me elated. That was the last he ate or drank. It is now Saturday night. I took him back in on Friday morning and he stayed at the vet's until 5pm. They monitored his blood sugar which had reduced from over 400 to just over 200. He still had a fever. They gave him an antibiotic and another insulin injection. I was told to give him insulin twice a day after his morning feeding and his evening feeding. He never ate today. He is wasting away! He has lost so much weight in just a few short days. I've tried to give him water in a medicine syringe but he fights it. The fighting is much weaker than it should be. I've also tried to give him the juice from his wet food, which he usually loves, but he fights that, too. What can I do? I can't watch him starve himself to death. Will he start to eat on his own, or does he need medical intervention? The vet's office isn't open on the weekends so I have to either take him to the pet ER or wait until Monday. The vet said he would call in a couple of days, which would be great if he called tomorrow, but if he doesn't, do I just take him in to the ER? I don't think this can wait until Monday. He can't last long without water. Or food. He's only 5 years old, and my 4 children are absolutely in love with him, as am I. Please give any suggestions or advice that you can. And as soon as you can. My little guy needs some help fast.
