My cat won't eat or drink after diarrhea and sneezing. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | 5 years and 2 months old

My cat is not eating from past two days. He was sneezing continously yesterday and suffering from loose motion. Being a special care cat I have never ever taken him to any doctor yet. Yesterday I asked a vet about this and he prescribed a medicine for loose motion called OFM. Now loose motions have completly stopped but he is not eating anything and drinks little water.

Hello and greetings from far away! I am a little uncertain on what is meant by loose motion, but if Chikoo is experiencing upper respiratory signs such as discharge from the nose or sneezing as your describe, and that is associated with decrease in appetite and decreased water consumption, he may need to visit his veterinarian as soon as possible. If he has a upper respiratory infection, he may need antibiotics and IV fluids if he is very dehydrated from not drinking. much. Best of luck to you!
