Given that Tota is not vaccinated, I would be very concerned that his symptoms may be due to something more serious such as FIP. This is a fatal viral disease of cats that causes fluid accumulation in the abdomen. Tota needs to see a vet immediately. His symptoms are very serious and require immediate medical attention.
