Please can someone advise
Hello All
I new to this group,and have found a lot of the information on here very helpfully and has given me something to think about, I have three cats two male and one female one of the male cats Silvester is not well at the moment he has been sick twice yesterday and today ( that i know of ) which is green and he lets out a cry just before the weather has been very hot here in the UK these lasts few day up in the 90 F great for some us humans but not if you're wearing a fur coat all day G I will be taking Silvester to the vets hopefully tomorrow but I wondered if anyone here has any ideas what could be the matter he is off his food and not drinking either which I find very worry in this weather, He is asleep at the moment in his favorite room and I have the electric fan on which is keeping the room cool martina |
Martina,
Hi. Maybe a digestive tract issue? How long has Sylvester not been eating or drinking? Especially in the heat, not drinking could be dangerous. Maybe try some tuna water? Is there another vet in the area that could see him today? Good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Karen Thank you Karen for your reply Luckily I have just managed to get some water down him I remember how from a vets tv programme I watched a small lamb who wasn't feeding from its mother, so to get him interested they poured gently of cause some mothers milk into the side of the mouth so I tried that with sylvester just a teaspoon of water and he hasnt stopped licking his mouth since. will do it again soon as i don't want him to drink to much as it might t make him sick again Martina |

I hope kitty is doing a little better. Let us know how the vet appointment went! :) Karen |
