Theo hasn't been himself for the last two days. He is sleeping and not playing, doesn't want to be held and is not purring when I pet him. He seems spaced out!!!! Should I take him to the vet? Is he growing up and not wanting us anymore???? I am worried... I will most likely take him to the vet tomorrow but if he is being lethargic is there anything I should ask them to test for????
argggg,
Heather
Take him to the vet, and I would at least call an emergency vet now, and they will know what to check.
I did call... they told me to just bring him in. Jan since his eyes are soooo light is there a way I can check for blindness with a flashlight? He is eating and drinking fine.
It will not change the need for a vet visit, but you can confirm that his pupils dilate by a flashlight in the eye and then moving it away. His pupils should get smaller with the light and open up again when it is removed.
I have had one of my queens deliver, and her eyes turned light and turning to green, it was due to jaudice.
I hope the vet finds him to be in good health, please update us.
Best Wishes,
Stormi
Oh Heather, please let us know what the vet says. Keeping you and Theo in my thoughts....
Heather, my prayers are with you and your precious pet. I agree he needs to go to the vet and do let us know. I know how hard this is as we went through health issues with our precious Domestic Cat in Feb so I do understand your concern. Know we are here for you.
So sorry to hear Theo is having health problems... I wouldn't wait with a vet visit!
Just got home from the vet. He has two puncture wounds on his backside. They had to shave off all his butt... with what happened last week with Purr Purr one can only conclude is that they are FIGHTING EACH OTHER!!!!! I am so angry with the two of them right now i could cry!!! WHY?????? WHY FIGHT?????? I have never seen this before!!! What do I do???? He is very sick.. the abscess is bad and the skin looks to be dying. I have to bring him back in two days and the vet is going to call me in the morning. He may need stitches to close the wounds. I had NO IDEA they were fighting like this!!???!! I knew that they didn't care for each other but have never seen them fight. I have him isolated in the bedroom right now because of his fever and the pain meds. If they can't get along I don't know what I am going to do????? I don't have a house... permanent separatation is not going to work!!! It is NOT an option.
Would I be a better Mom to find him a home where he will be alone or not around female cats???? He gets along with my male fine!
You'll have to see how bad it really is!!! If I can get a picture later I will... my heart is sooo broken right now.
ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
