Cat losing weight, diarrhea, bleeding, pain: affordable vet options?

Question

My cat has been losing a lot of weight in the last 3 months. Last week she was going diarrhea and now I don’t see her pooping her anal is bleeding and she looks in pain. I love her so much but I’m really poor I don’t have the money to take her to the vet. Please help me I don’t want to see her suffer.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do at home. Feed her a bland diet of boiled chicken and boiled white rice to help her intestines to calm down. Make sure he is drinking plenty of water. This may help but it will not fix the problem. Weight loss in a cat Pepper's age can be related to many things including kidney disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, cancer and less likely worms. I would assume the diarrhea is related to whatever is causing the weight loss. You should contact the local humane society and see if there are any programs available to assist low income individuals. Pepper needs blood work, a urinalysis and possibly radiographs to figure out whats going on and to see if it can be treated. I hope things work out.
