Hi mycat Roscoe is 6 months old very normally playful but the last couple of days he just wants to lay around and sleep. He still eats and drinks. He will still groom himself but when we pick him he meows like it hurts. He does rough house alot. And he will act like he wants to play for like 5 seconds and than doesnt and just decides to lay down. My other cats are fine.

Hi, my cat has been having diarrhea with blood for the past month. He is also loosing a lot of weight. I have taken him to a veterinarian 5 times and his blood test results were all fine. He was also tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia and was negative. I was out of town for two weeks prior to my cat being sick and I amconcernedthtet person I left him with may have hurt the cat.He has also had a fever on and off. He has been given antibiotics and also a steroid shot which seemed to make the blood and mucus in the stool go away. It is also more solid now but he continues to have a fever and is loosing weight. Do you think an ultrasound would be useful? And do you have any ideas as to what could be wrong with him?

My ragdoll cat (4 months old) was suddenly walking a bit weird in the back legs yesterday (monday), he was fine over the weekend. Sunday and Monday morning I saw that he had poop stuck on his tail fur near the anus. He still walks around fine and would jump on sofa/bed on his own, although when he jumps back down he is not as graceful and seem to kind of fall on his back legs/butt. I brought him into to my vet today and she found that his tail is hanging down weird. The tail can move and doesn't bother him when touched, except when she touched his back where the tail connects to the spine. The vet suggest xray, but the breeder suggests that I wait it out a few days, since my cat is still pretty active and is behaving normally besides being a bit wobbly, plus the vet wants to sedate my cat for the xray, which both the breeder and I are concerned about. Could it be a soft tissue trauma in that region? Could he have sustained an injury to the tail-spine connecting area even though the sofa, bed, and coffee table that he jumps on and off are not that high? Would it heal on its own? If the area was broken would the signs be obvious? Because judging from his behavior (not vocalizing more than usual, still likes to walk around, still likes to jump on sofa) it doesn't seem like he's in a great deal of pain. Sorry for the long question, this is my first time owning a cat and I'm anxious.

My 16 year old cat was in a fight with a visiting year old cat. I got them apart quickly, but now she has been hiding under the bed for 24 hours. She stretches all legs and looks at me, but won't let me touch her or reach her. I put water and some food under the bed for her, and put rescue remedy in the water. How long should I wait to see if she recovers. I am scared the vet will say to put her down because she's so old and fragile looking.

I stepped on my very young kitten this morning. I am not sure how old he is because I found him from a post on Facebook. However I know he is really young because I had to stimulate him to get him to pee the first day or so I had him, and he’s only started being playful a few days ago. I’m not sure exactly where I stepped on him. I heard the noise and immediately dropped down to pick him up and he’s so tiny. He pooped immediately after which is weird because he never does that unless I put him in the litter box. He could walk so I don’t think any of his legs are broken but you could tell he was in pain at first. I can not get him to eat, he isn’t as playful as usual, and he won’t meow anymore. He isn’t acting like he is in pain though.
