Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1lb
I believe my kitten (I found him by my childhood elementary about 3 days ago) is having fecal incontinence and is eating his own poop. However, right before he poops, he meows 3 or 4 times! He is also having diarrhea on top of all this. He drinks water and eats a lot too. He sleeps most of the day, but doesn’t play. I have no money to take him to a vet to get him checked out, I was hoping you could give me some insight on what’s wrong with him. He’s really young. Maybe 5-6 weeks.

It could be Binx has a severe case of intestinal worms causing the diarrhea and difficulty pooping. He really does have to se a vet for this problem. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/
