Question

14 yr old Cat has very serious symptoms. he won't eat and won't move. He doesn't look himself. He has been hiding in the house. He has a dry nose and is breathing heavy and quickly.

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

These are very serious symptoms and your cat needs to see a vet immediately. His breathing can indicate respiratory distress, and it's also concerning he won't eat or move. In a 14 year old cat, he could be suffering from severe diseases such as cardiac disease, kidney failure, liver disease, or cancer among others. I would take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.
