My cat is sick, losing weight, and I can't afford vet care. What should I do?

Question

Hi, I have a cat that's having some serious issues. Constant diarrhea, unable to control her bowel movement (and makes noises like she's in pain when an accident happens), possible blood in her bowel movements (they're very dark), weight loss, extreme hair loss. She's hardly eating now and is getting worse and worse. I know she needs to see a vet, but I can't even afford to take myself to a doctor when I need it. I don't really know what to do.

These are indeed very serious and concerning signs and she would benefit from urgent veterinary care. Please contact your local humane society for advice on subsidized and free clinics in your area, there are many charities which are happy to help in such a situation. In the meantime try to encourage fluid intake and offer small, bland meals of cooked chicken, egg or fish
