Andreas is sick [View all]

Nothing open today of course.

Andreas is 11 years old and he's been throwing up now and then (not particularly unusual).

However, I noticed some cat droppings on the rug in the living room this a.m. and cleaned that up and found Andreas not far away. He is walking SO slow. He doesn't seem to respond to anything, even his name.

Its like he has had a stroke or something. He is an indoor only kitty and I sure hope he gets better real fast as he doesn't like crates and he does and will bite!

Yikes!

Send good thoughts, messages and prayers to Mr. Andy as he's known. He was my late husband's cat and he called him that, "Mister Andy".

The thought of losing him is frightening to me. I've been in a very poor state of mind lately as the anniversary of my husband falling ill is upon us today.

Get Well Soon Mister Andy!

Thanks for thoughts and prayers.

Put on heavy gloves, wrap him in a towel, stick him in a crate, and go. raging moderate Feb 2024 #5
I agree. Take him to an emergency vet. He could have just eaten something bad and it may be able Maraya1969 Feb 2024 #10

Are there any emergency vet clinics in your area? virgdem Feb 2024 #7
Sounds like it could be a vestibular problem. Check his ears for signs of infection. sinkingfeeling Feb 2024 #8
