Hi everyone..
It's been a whilke since I posted..
My cat Gorby is an old man we adopted him from a shelter 2 years ago.
He was big & fat and over the last year lost a ton of weight.
The vet said his blood count is so low he dosen't understand why he is not sick. He was tested for lukemia, had a scan for other problems and his thyroid was tested. All was ok. The dr said he felt he has some kind of cancer but he would need to do a bone marrow.
He is old and I couldn't put him through that.. They said take him home, feed him(he always wants to eat) love him and hope time is on our side..
Well, over the last week I noticed his stomache is getting bigger.. I thought it was because he was sooooo skinny it was protruding more.
Well over the last few days he looks like he swallowed a basketball. I followed him around today a noticed he can't poop at all. He tried but nothing happened. He did poop the day before yesteday. I am very worried about him. I will be taking him to the vet tomorrow.
I hope he is not in any pain now. He still wants to eat all the time and follows me to the kitchen but I think this is the beginning of the end..
Does anyone have any ideas regarding constipation? I am afraid to do anything incase it's a blockage... I guess I will have to just wait till the morning...
Thanks for reading...
