Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 months and 28 days old | 2.05 lbs

My 3 month old tabby hasn't been eating and has been vomiting for a week and using the litterbox too often. I thought it was because he was just nervous in a new home still. Yesterday he stopped eating altogether and barely drinks his water. I called the pet hospital this morning that I had a free exam and consultation with, they reccomended to take him into emergency care because they couldn't fill us in till sunday, but I cannot afford it. I'm scared and Idk if I should take him back.. help..

I'm sorry Binx isn't feeling well. I recommend calling other clinics to see if they can get you in today so you can get Binx feeling better soon. He may need medication to stop the vomiting and fluids to rehydrate him. Kisses to Binx!
