What to do if my cat is sick, throwing up, not eating, feverish?

I strongly recommend getting your cat seen by your vet as soon as possible. Cats can sometimes get fevers with no known origin and it makes them not want to eat. A cat cannot go more than a couple days without eating before they develop liver damage. Your cat may need fluids and supportive care in order to lower his temperature back to normal and support him until his appetite returns.

Poor Moe! From what you're describing here, I'm afraid he sounds quite sick. Vomiting, not eating, and acting lethargic are always very concerning symptoms, especially since he's been sick for 2-3 days now and seems to be getting worse. Unfortunately, these are very vague symptoms that could be caused by almost any kind of illness, so it's hard to say what might be wrong without being able to examine him and run some tests. I do think that this sounds like a serious, potentially life-threatening problem that shouldn't wait until tomorrow, so I would recommend taking him to an emergency clinic today to be seen. If you're not sure where to go, try calling your regular vet's office - their voicemail message should have contact information for your nearest ER or an on-call doctor for emergencies.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Chimpu! Sadly I can't give you a prognosis with out a diagnosis and we can't do that over the internet. Chimpu needs to see a Vet for an exam, blood work and X-rays. Cats shouldn't go longer than 2 days with out eating as that can cause a secondary serious liver problem (fatty liver syndrome). Causes of a fever in cats are: viral or bacterial infections, feline infectious peritonitis, feline leukemia, pancreatitis, blockage from a foreign body and cancer. I do think this is serious since it has been 4 days. He should be hospitalized if possible until we find out the cause of his fever. I am not in full agreement that he won't survive, but I am worried he won't with out intervention. I wish you and Chimpu the best!

This is a medical emergency and Mussi has to see a vet now. You cannot treat this at home, she is in danger of developing a fatty liver from not eating anything for three days. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment. Please take her into a vet immediately.

Fever in cats usually indicates there is an infection present. Cats also can get fever from a flea parasite called Mycoplasma, which is treated with an antibiotic. There isn't anything you can do for either of these scenarios at home unfortunately. A vet visit is required to treat for these and hopefully get Snow back to normal. I would ask friends and family if they can assist you with getting Snow to the vet for further care. Here is also a website link with financial assistance if this is the reason why a vet visit isn't feasible for you. Best wishes and take care. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html Carecredit.com

Whiskey is such a handsome cat! Look at those gorgeous eyes! I can understand being concerned about it, but anorexia is a very general sign of illness. It can be caused by dental problems, systemic illness, inflammation, infection, or injury. It's also concerning when a cat goes too long without eating (about 72 hours) as they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. It's best to avoid this, so I would try to tempt him to eat with some boiled white meat chicken (no bones), and if he refuses to eat that, take him into the vet in the morning for a health check. I hope this helps!

Poor Boboom! I would be afraid that he was injured while he was out, either by an animal or possibly a car. It's very concerning the symptoms you are describing, and I think the best thing for him is to take him into a vet immediately. Please take him 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.
