Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old
My cat's ears, nose and paws are cold. He hasn't been interested in food all day and when he finally ate something he threw it up an hour later. He has been sleeping all day and he played a little but he isn't his usual self. Since he is an indoor/outdoor cat I am worried he might have gotten into a fight or maybe eaten something poisonous. What else could it be?

When pets have a drop in body temperature, it generally indicates they are very sick. Pets can become hypothermic due to severe infections, poisons or a ruptured internal tumor or organ. All of these conditions are potentially fatal. I recommend to have Zivac examined by his veterinarian quickly. It's always better to play it safe. The doctor will get a better idea of the cause and the treatment. best of luck.
