I just got a kitten yesterday from a shelter in LA, she’s super active and vocal and has peed and pooped (it was a good poop). But when she’s laying down I can feel an area that is malleable but doesn’t feel like it’s just the squishy part of a cat. The location is about two inches cranial to her left hip bone and an inch or so caudal to her last rib. Could it just be a bowel movement I’m actually feeling? Or should I be concerned? She also just got spayed yesterday—she doesn’t seem to be in any pain at all.

Hi I’m very concerned about my cat Louey he has this white film in both corners of his eyes . It started yesterday but he hasn’t been eating very well and he usually eats a lot he takes a few bites of his food and I haven’t seen him use the liter box in about 2 days and he only peed but I haven’t seen any turds in there from him. I made him an appointment for tomorrow morning but I’m trying to decide if I should take him tonight to the emergency center I don’t know if it’s something serious but I’m very concern. He’s acting normal He’s not acting odd and he still plays with our kitten that we just got a week ago. I just hope it’s nothing serious?

I'm wondering if my 6-year-old female long-haired cat Lucy has a hairball obstruction in her intestines. Took her to the vet 3 days ago because she had stopped eating. My vet palpated her abdomen, checked vitals etc, gave her a B12 shot and fluids and suggested that if she did not improve that she have further diagnostics. Lucy continued to only nibble at her food (over the weekend). She had one bowel movement and is urinating normally, but every time she goes to the feed bowl he smacks her lips and backs off. Vet suggested that I give her laxatone in a hefty dose and several times. I have been giving her 1/2 teaspoon doses frequently of Tomlyn's Laxatone, but so far she hasn't produced another stool (in two days) and continues to not eat. Do you think she may have a huge hairball still in her intestines? What might the possibilities be?

Mitzy (8 yr - spayed) is currently on her 3rd vet clinic since the 5th of July. Originally she was straining to defecate and not eating (2+ days of both when taken to the first vet), given fluids, anal glands 1/2 emptied (too painful to do all without sedation and sent home to 'monitor'. After 24 more hours of no eating or defecation we tried to get her back into same vet, told they were too busy and to come the next day. 4+ days at this point, told to take her to emergency 24 hour vet hospital. They surgically removed the impacted feces from her (took 2 attempts there was so much despite her being a tiny cat ~ 2.5 kgs) and sent her home on a specific diet and laxatives twice a day. She began eating a bit more at home but was still straining to defecate constantly, only passing a few small nuggets in the following week. 20 July she was taken back to 24 hour vet hospital where they flushed her bowels and finally took scans. Vet hospital could not determine the cause of her issues and we were told to just keep bringing her back to be flushed out when ever she seemed too uncomfortable (at about $1,500 per time btw). She was sent home on 3 x laxatives a day but still was not passing anything. Finally convinced my dad on 23 July to move her to a vet clinic I trust more (I wish i had pushed harder for this sooner) where she has been on fluids overnight, has anti inflams, was flushed out again yesterday (as fully clogged again) and managed to pass a good size and consistency stool today. A biopsy was taken of the constricting intestine and we are awaiting results. As yet we haven't seen / been told of signs of a foreign obstruction of tumors etc. Are there any possible ideas / explanations of what is causing this in her? we are trying to get as much information as possible while we await the biopsy result. Thank you.

My cat is about 4 years old, and one day she started throwing up, i don’t exactly know if she ate anything and don’t know exactly what it could have been but she hadn’t eaten for the day, and it was around 3-6 when it started. It started it out as just throwing up foam, a white foam, and of course as time is going I’m just looking up everything that’s happening, trying to figure it out. She’s not eating or drinking and seems lethargic . I had given her activated charcoal and she just cry and throw up. The next day I call the vet and make an appointment cause the throwing up for that long wasn’t normal and me knowing my cat, I know that’s somethings wrong. We get there, get a physical and they can’t detect anything, mean while she’s acting normal at this point the little actress, so they give some fluids for dehydration and some other things to help with nausea and digestion I think it was. He also gave me some special food for her to eat. We get home she doesn’t want to food at all but when I click the top she get excited as all cats do. She drank water from the bowl on her own but she’s still not eating. The next day I try to give her more and she doesn’t want any of it. Times I had to force feed her (gently) and she would throw it up. So now I’m getting really concerned. Mind you this have been going for 4-5 days. One morning I wake up and try feeding her the food, she doesn’t like it but something tells me get her the regular can food. I tap it, excitement. I give her the tiniest spoon to smell and immediately takes to it, and eats what I give her of it. And then she drinks water all on her on. She only drinks and eat a little bit, but I’m proud of her. She holds it down for a long while but then she throws up. And for about a day or 2 that’s what’s been happening. She won’t over indulge in anything but when I give her a bit of food, wet food only, she’ll eat it mostly the juice but peices of meat to. And the water she’ll try and drink that. She has gone to the bathroom and few times since this started and no pain from what I see, but she doesn’t do it often. So now we are here where she is still throwing up and will drink water, I haven’t attempted to feed her yet, but I will. She has lost a lot of weight so of course my concern has peeked. And now she cry’s more when she throws up as well as the throw up now being yellow foam. And being that I have a dead end job at the moment money scares me, but I have options so I could potentially help her. I know the internet, As knowledgeable as it is, is not a tell all thing but I have done research on my own and from what I have seen, she either has an infection or a blockage. I myself feel like it might be an infect and could be gastritis, it fits her situation the best, but I’m not a doctor, I’m just trying to educate myself more and see what I can do or if I can do anything. And even in all of this she has plenty of moments where she acts normal for the most part, but still I need help. I am waiting for my vet to call me back, so I can get his opinion to help. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts about all this, I would love to know anything.
