Oh my. Poor kitty. Once a kitty gets this sick it is imperative to take them to the vet right away for testing and treatment. She could have a number of things going on with her including w foreign body obstruction, Toxin ingestion or even underlying kidney disease. It is unlikely she will get better without veterinary care. You can try offering her a small amount of tuna or boiled plain chicken and rice and 1-2 tsp of karo syrup to keep her blood glucose up tonight if you absolutely cannot get her seen right away. But an ER vet visit should be highly considered if possible. If not then get her seen as soon as possible tomorrow morning. I hope that your cat Dinah is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.

Poor Mia! If she still seems to be sick, then I would recommend calling your veterinarian or taking her back in for a recheck visit to see what your vet suggests as the next step from here. It sounds like she may need some additional diagnostics such as an abdominal ultrasound, GI blood panel, or even exploratory surgery to help figure out what's wrong.

Hi there. It would help to know if any testing was done by your vet, such as blood work or x-rays, and if so what the results were. Without that information, it's really impossible to say what might be wrong. She may have ingested something toxic, or eaten something that has caused an intestinal blockage. She could also have some type of chronic health issue such as liver or kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or even some type of cancer that was made worse by being lost and dehydrated for three days. If you have more information about test results from your vet, feel free to post again. Otherwise, I would recommend taking her back to the vet for some additional diagnostics (blood work, x-rays, possible abdominal ultrasound, etc.) to help determine what's wrong.

Hello. I am sorry that Miley isn't feeling well. Any cat that has decreased eating, playing and drinking is a sick kitty. She could have eaten something that has upset her stomach, or could have a fever from a virus that is making her not want to eat and play. I would suggest having her checked by a vet to check her temperature and to make sure it doesn't look like she has something stuck in her guts that would need surgery to remove. Your vet will do an exam, and might need to take x-rays or do some bloodwork. Best of luck with Miley!
