My cat Charcoal has been showing some alarming signs. We got him as a stray so we don't know his exact age, but the vet guessed him to be around 5 years old.
A couple days ago he threw up a few times. We thought it was a hairball and didn't stress it, but after that he completely lost his appetite and was acting depressed. This has happened with him in the past, and we always assumed it was just an upset stomach cause it only lasted a day max.
He was also having diarrhea, but later in the day he started getting back to normal. Eating again, snuggling and purring, just acting like normal. He's been acting normal since, but he threw up twice a couple hours ago. It looks like a hairball to me. He still has diarrhea which I just noticed, and it has a small bit of blood (I think. I can't tell %100), which really scared me. His gums are red and he is hydrated.
Oh also, he doesn't have any parasites from my knowledge. He has been treated and hasn't showed any symptoms for years.
I'm trying not to worry about it. I really hope it isn't something serious. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong with Charcoal?
