My cat is sick, meowing, drinking more, and getting worse. What to do?

Poor Rayven does sound very ill at the moment. It's quite serious when an elderly cat stops eating and drinking, and not drinking is bad for her kidney health. She can easily become dehydrated from not drinking, vomiting, and diarrhea. Given her age and her combination of symptoms, I think it's best she sees a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Patchie sounds extremely sick, and she has to see a vet now. I would be afraid this could be fatal without immediate treatment. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends, and if the vet will accept payment plans so you can get her treated. Please take her into a vet now.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. She will need to see her veterinarian for laboratory work. Increased vocalizations and increased thirst are common signs of hyperthyroidism. This is a disease where the body makes too much thyroid hormone thereby increasing metabolism. Other signs can include weight loss, hyperactivity, increased urination as well as vomiting and/or diarrhea. If this is her diagnosis, the disease is typically managed with medication. I hope this information helps!

You need to take Sausan into a vet immediately. It's very serious that she has vomiting for two days, isn't eating or drinking, and is very tired. This cannot be treated at home, please take her into a vet immediately.

These are difficult situations and unfortunately cats often do not give us much in the way of cues when they are ill. Typically, though, by the time you start to see symptoms like you're seeing they are pretty sick, so I would encourage you to check out carecredit.com for help paying vet bills, or talk to friends and family to discuss a loan to get her the care she needs.

Older cats can experience an over active thyroid that can make then walk around vocalizing and change their water intake. They can also experience high blood pressure and a form of dementia that can cause wandering with vocalization. With these symptoms and her age, I would take her for blood work and exam. They can evaluate her health and check her kidneys, thyroid and blood pressure and prescribe what medicine is needed.

Poor Also sounds very sick, and it's extremely serious she won't eat or drink. She has to see a vet now, and I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet. I can give you some resources that may help as well. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com Check out these resources to see if one can help you, and please take her into a vet immediately.
