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.

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