Lost and Found
About two weeks ago, my 8 month old kitty got loose outside for the first
time. We searched and searched and he was no where to be found. Just the other day, a neighbor told us he was under their car and there he was. We brought him inside and everything seemed back to normal. The next morning I noticed that his voice was much deeper and allmost strained. He also started to drool when I was petting him which he had never done before. Never being affectionate before, he couldn't get enough attention. I looked it up on the internet and these I guess are all possible signs of rabies. Though he had his first rabies shot about two months ago, I was worried and took him to the vet. He said the chance that he had rabies was slight and he seemed to be fine. The thing is ever since he's come home he doesn't seem like his old self. I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or if I really should be worried. Could this all be caused by the trauma of being lost outside? or is there something deeper I should be worried about? Any Advice? Thanks for reading Hannah |

Has he been neutered?

What kind of food do you feed him, wet or dry? If it's canned or pouch, he
is probably getting enough water thru the food, and doesn't need to drink much water. When you clean the litter box does the urine amount seem normal? -- Paul O.

I'd take him to the vet again. Sounds like he may have an upper respiratory
infection which would not be unusual considering he was outside for a length of time. Have him checked by your vet again. S.
