My cat won't eat, hides, and gags. Could it be parvo without diarrhea?

It sounds as your cat is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection (could be parvo). it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

Dog parvo is not transmitted to cats so it is not likely secondary to the new puppy. If he is otherwise acting okay, you could withhold food for 8-12 hours and then try a small amount of a bland diet (sensitive stomach diet or boiled chicken and rice) and see how he does with that. I’m not sure what you are using for fleas but make sure you are using a safe product like Frontline, Revolution, Advantage. If the vomiting continues then he should be examined and treated by a vet. Your vet can prescribe medications to help treat the vomiting.

Diarrhea and a decrease in appetite could be a sign of a number of different problems. Intestinal parasites are possible, even for indoor cats, as are some infections or diseases like colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. If the diarrhea continues for more than 24 hours or seems to be getting worse, or if her appetite does not improve during that time I'd recommend seeing your veterinarian. They may treat her symptoms or recommend some testing like blood work or a fecal analysis depending on what they find during a physical examination.

Yes, it's very important for Loki to eat. If a cat goes too long without eating (about 72 hours), they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. The sooner he eats, the better, but he's in the best place possible.

What you describe could be feline distemper. It could be feline infectious peritonitis (the dry form) or another viral infection. Whatever ever is is, Butternut needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Keep Buttermilk as comfortable as possible, leave plenty of fresh water available, offer canned food or even boiled chicken breast. Good luck.

Since it sounds like KD never skips a meal, its possible he is getting sick. Just like people, there are many conditions that can make pets feel sick. This could range from bacterial over growth to intestinal blockage. Also like us, diseases are best addressed early and this may result in a better prognosis. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian if he is not eating for 24 hours, not drinking well or if he is getting worse. The doctor will need to learn the underlying cause in order to give appropriate treatment. Bring in a stool sample in case the doctor needs to test it. I hope KD starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions!

Acute vomiting and diarrhea, especially with poor appetite and lethargy, are certainly cause for concern. This could be caused by an infection, something stuck in Max's intestines, or a metabolic problem. At the veterinarian, they will examine him and probably take x-rays and run some lab work to look for the underlying cause of Max's issues. I wouldn't wait very long to go to the vet since Max is so young and small and so can become dehydrated quickly. See if you can get in for an exam today.
