My cat won't poop or eat after vet. Is it a blockage or constipation?

Question

Hi, my cat has recently been kept at the vets for what they thought was a viral infection but they didn't know for certain. That was Thursday last week and he came home Friday. He has seemed better but hasn't pooed since Saturday evening and his appetite still isn't very good. He is weeing and drinking fine. I wonder if this could be a blockage? He started being off his food from the 4th Jan so I don't know if it would go on this long? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 years and 11 months old | 4.2 lbs

Hello, sorry to hear about Mario. I wish him a speedy recovery. It sounds like his constipation is associated with his decreased appetite and decreased activity. As he continues to regain his appetite and move more then he will begin to defecate as well. If however, you notice that he is actively straining to defecate then you should have him evaluated to make sure he is not obstinate. Hope this helps and best of luck.
