My cat is very sick, not eating, breathing fast. What should I do?

Question

Hello, I found my baby who is two years old this morning lying down and who was not responding when I called him, just to discover that he was breathing quickly and his eyes remained wide open,(and meowed loudly while I held him). He was not likely to eat or drink anything. I tried giving him something to drink with a syringe, but he spit more than he swallowed. I find him really skinny comapred to a week ago. Also it’s been since staurday that he stopped eating. WHAT CAN I DO? Help please. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 years and 7 months old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. If possible, you need to seek veterinary care for him immediately. He appears very sick in your pictures and your description. He will likely need blood work and x-rays of his chest to determine why he is so sick. In the meantime, place karo or maple syrup on his gums. This will help if his blood sugar has dropped too low. It will give him a little energy. He will still need care though. I hope this information helps.
