Why is my cat bleeding and gaining weight? What should I do now?

If your cat is not spayed, she may be suffering from a uterine infection. If she is spayed then she may have a urinary tract infection. In any case Lola needs to be seen by your veterinarian for an exam as this is not normal.

OH my. I am not sure where she is bleeding from, but a coagulation disorder or bleeding disorder is likely the cause of her illness. A toxin ingestion or immune mediated condition is typically the cause for bleeding disorders in pets. I would highly recommend taking Miaw in to your local vet right away for treatment! She is in need of medical attention right away to hopefully stabilize her condition quickly. A blood test will likely be recommended to gather more clues as to the underlying cause for her bleeding problem and inappetence. I hope that your fur baby Miaw is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.

This bleeding indicates a severe colitis (inflammation of the colon). This could be from a severe infection, or cancer. The sleeping constantly is worrying that she is losing so much blood that she is becoming anemic and/or very dehydrated. Given the severity of the problems you are seeing, Misty really needs veterinary treatment, because there is nothing that can be done for her at home. I recommend taking her to the vet as soon as possible. Sometimes, these problems can be easily cleared with appropriate medication and other treatment. I hope that helps and Misty gets better soon.

Gaining so much weight all of a sudden could be a sign of metabolic disease or an endocrine disease such as diabetes. She may feel ill and vulnerable and therefore tries to keep the other kitties away from her. Please take her to your vet ASAP for an exam and blood tests.

Hello! This depends on how long the lumps have been present for. If they have been slowly growing (over a few weeks/months), then they could be some sort of skin tumour. If they just came recently (ie the last few days), it could be an abscess (which is an infection, trapped under the skin.) Would you be able to take Luna to see a vet? They would be able to examine him, and determine what type of lumps they are, and whether he can be helped with medication, or surgery. You can clean the area that he is bleeding from with warm water and a clean cloth.

I would recommend that you have your cat examined by a vet. These are not good problems to have, and could be caused by a number of things including stomatitis, FIV, oral or nasal cancer, bacterial or fungal infection, among others. The vet will do a thorough exam, and may need to run blood work and maybe x-rays to determine the cause.

Yes, I would be concerned that there may be internal injuries, especially as she is bleeding when she sneezes and she is also likely to be in significant pain and discomfort. Dog bites are at significant risk for infection also so I strongly recommend a full check up by your vet
