My cat saw the vet but still won't eat or drink. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed

On Saturday my cat lick glue and in the evening she’s having fever and not eating or drinking. The next day she pooped and peed once so I brought her to see vet on Monday morning. Vet gave her injection and pills for flu and fever. But until today she doesn’t want to eat and drink which makes me have to force her to drink using syringe. I also tried force her drink milk but she throw up. It’s been 4 days what should I do?

I suggest you take her back to the vet for more testing - like bloodwork. I would be very worried that she may have a pyometra (uterine infection) if she is not spayed. It is probably unrelated to her licking the glue.
