Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Poor Gypsy has picked up an infection, either bacterial or viral. It is also possibly he has gotten into a fight with another cat & has sustained a bite which in now infected. Cats can not go very long without eating. After just 3 days we can see damage to the liver. Gypsy needs to see a veterinarian tomorrow to see if he needs some fluids & antibiotics to help get well & feel better.
