My cat is sick: hair loss, vomiting, pain, and litter box issues?

Vomiting and increased vocalizations can sometimes indicate pain or distress. This could be due to GI upset, underlying illness, etc. If the symptoms continue, worsen, or you see additional issues such as increased vomiting, attempting to urinate or defecate but can't, loss of appetite, etc, then it would be best to seek veterinary care ASAP to find the underlying issue.

Vague behavior changes like you are describing can be the first sign of illness in an older cat, so if you feel something is wrong I would encourage you to see your veterinarian again. Blood work might be recommended to rule out kidney or liver disease. The vomiting could be a sign of inflammatory bowel disease or even an intestinal mass and if the blood work is normal an abdominal ultrasound might be recommended. Finally, the vocalizing and hissing could be a sign of pain from something like arthritis and there are some supplements and now pain medications that can be used in cats.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Callie. She will need to see her veterinarian for an evaluation and likely some laboratory work. There is a common condition in cats known as hyperthyroidism. It frequently causes increased vocalizations. It can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss as well as an increased thirst and urination. This is my first suspicion based on your description of her. Of course, there are other possibilities and this is why she will need to see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

Stress can sometimes cause a cat to vomit, however if you notice one of the cats is getting ill a lot, is rapidly losing weight, or is showing other signs of illness such as refusal to eat or drink, extreme lethargy, etc, then seeking vet care is a good idea to figure out the problem.

Poor kitty! In a 13 year old cat, I strongly suspect that she has a medical problem causing these issues. Some common possible causes would include hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam as soon as you are able to - he/she can do blood work and a urinalysis to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate medication to treat it.

You really need to have Lilli to a vet for exam. Something is obviously wrong. You can't leave her like this to vomit every day and be miserable. With the hair loss, she could have ringworm, mange or any number of diseases. Again, a vet visit is needed to figure this out. Also, I suggest you have her spayed so she doesn't get pregnant anymore. Obviously that took a toll on her body.

You need to take your cat to a veterinary doctor for an exam and for treatment of the lice. She may also have sarcoptes mites. This can be treated very easily with an ivermectin injection. Being so infested with lice can make a cat very ill as the lice will suck her blood and then she can get anemic. Since she is grooming a lot she is probably ingesting a lot of hairs which makes hair balls which she will try to get rid of by regurgitation. You can get a so-called "hairball remedy paste" in a pet shop or your local pharmacy or at the vet. This paste will help your cat get rid of the hairballs. But you need to take Pussy to a vet so she can be treated for the lice. Here is a veterinary doctor in your area : http://placesmap.net/IN/Veterinary-Hospital-Balurghat-92464/
