My cat is shaking and won't eat or drink. Could she be sick?

Poor Missy! She could have a dental problem causing her symptoms, such as a tooth root abscess, broken tooth, or severe periodontal disease. There could also be a growth or foreign body in her mouth. Shaking the head frequently can also be a sign of an ear infection, while licking the mouth as well as not eating and drinking can be a sign of nausea . She is in pain from this, and she is showing this to by shaking her head frequently, licking her mouth, not eating, and not drinking. It's very concerning when a cat won't eat or drink, and I would take her into a vet today. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms, and can treat her for it. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I suspect Cleo is not feeling well and may be nauseous. 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. You need to monitor Cleo closely. If she is not eating or drinking well for 24 hours, if there is vomiting/diarrhea/coughing or signs of pain, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian today. If the lethargy lasts for 24 hours, your kitty also needs to be examined. 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. At home, Cleo should continue resting. Encourage eating and drinking. Bring her the food and water. Fluid intake is very important when pets and people don't feel good. You may try offering her some boiled white meat chicken or canned tuna (in water not oil). Hopefully this will pass quickly. I hope Cleo starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.

Shaking in usually a sign of fever or pain, as he isn't eating there must be something wrong with Bobby, i would recommend taking him to the vet to day in order to get it checked, it might be something minor but it could also be serious, a cat that is not eating is usually ill and requires treatment.

You need to take Robin into a vet immediately, it's a medical emergency he won't eat. If cats go long enough without eating, they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. He could have a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury causing his symptoms. Please take him into a vet now.

All of those signs are very concerning that something more serious is going on. If Theo hasn't eaten at all in two days and can't keep anything down, it is best to seek care from your vet or another vet ASAP as this can indicate more severe illness or underlying issue. More thorough workup such as bloodwork or X-rays are also a good idea to try and find the cause such as an infection, virus, obstruction, etc that could be causing the underlying issue.

I am sorry to hear about Annabelle. If she is not eating and now not drinking these are definitely signs of concern that require evaluation by a veterinarian. In particular, if she is an overweight cat (it says on your information that she is 14 pounds) then she is at risk of developing a dangerous liver condition called hepatic lipidosis if she isn't eating. There are many possible underlying causes for her symptoms, including primary GI disease (such as inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis, stomach ulcer, gi tumors, gi infection, pancreatitis, cholangiohepatitis) or disease of the liver or kidney (either of these can cause increased thirst). The vet will want to do an examination and will likely recommend bloodwork and an x-ray to try to determine the cause of her symptoms. She may need to be prescribed an appetite stimulant, and may need fluid therapy if she is dehydrated.

It sounds like Sissy is sick. Her symptoms could be caused by dental disease, systemic illness, infection, or injury. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain what is going on. I'd have her seen by a vet today to have this diagnosed and treated. Best of luck.
