Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 24 days old

I need to know what to do for my cat. He isn’t walking straight, nor can he see well, and he’s also vomiting foam from the mouth and has diarrhea as well. Please tell me what’s going on?

Hello, sorry to hear about Bubba. It sounds like he may be having a viral infection or parasites in his intestines. This is likely making him very weak and dehydrated which is likely the cause of him being unable to walk normally. You should have Bubba evaluated by his veterinarian immediately as he may need medications and fluids to make him feel better. He will likely need to be tested for viral infections and be dewormed. Please have him evaluated today. Hope this helps and best of luck.
