I have been so absorbed in what's been going on with me here lately, (been to the dentist twice in the past three days for root canals) that I didn't notice that Bast hasn't been eating. I knew she was acting a bit off yesterday, but didn't notice that she was dangerously thin.
I was picking her up this evening, and she's lost a ton of weight, is extremely thin...her ears are cold, paw pads are cold. I'm totally freaked out. I put out some wet food to coax her to eat, and she nibbled at it. She has been drinking water on and off that I've seen. I think I'm going to go warm up the wet food or go to Walmart right now and try to find some wet food to tempt her with. I know it can cause cats a lot of damage to not eat, even for a day or two...
I am going to take her to the vet first thing tomorrow...I'm just so scared and afraid she's going to die.
I'm sure I'm over-reacting, but I also feel totally irresponsible for not noticing this earlier!
She's been perfectly healthy up to this point, I don't have poisonous substances around the room where she stays in, there has been no vomit, I haven't noticed loose stools from her, I haven't seen signs of blood in stool or anything... I looked at her teeth and none of the gums look inflamed or teeth infected.
She must have started this since the Tripod came to the house. Perhaps she's depressed/traumatized?
I'm so freaked out right now...
Just thought also that I should go get a heating pad and make up a bed for her with that lining it on low. I don't think she can provide much body heat for herself at this point, considering how cold she felt....
