Apparently now everywhere wants you to use a special credit card to pay for vet bills if you cant afford them.

Im worried he ate something he shouldn't have. and his stomach is obstructed.

He likes to chew socks... and blankets

how old is he and how long has it been since he ate or drank.. and is he peeing?

he's 4. He ate yesterday but hasnt been interested since then. I got him some kitty junkfood to try to entice him since before that it

had been like another 24 hours.

I gave him hairball treatment to see if I could lubricate things a bit which he ate yesterday.

I took him to the vet this morning. I got him checked out. They wanted to give him fluids under the skin, an enema, and xrays

his temp was normal, she felt his abdomen. It wasnt hard. She thinks that the food I switched him to last month has dried him out

but I dont know how to force fluids in him

this happened to my cat. We give him wet food twice a day now, as it forces fluids, switched him to a dry thats easier to digest.

But sadly it was 3 vet visits to figure out what was going on.

I put down wet and he isn't interested right now. Hopefully he will be soon.

I agree with Fleur... i give mine wet once a day and dry out all the time

and water is always available

watch closely to see if he pees... that means he MAY be drinking when you don't see him

hmm thats reassuring. Now if I could only get him to eat.

They didn't rehydrate him while you were at the vet? They usually do that as a matter of course.

really Launa, he won't starve if he does not eat for a couple days... but drinking is key... even if you get an eyedropper and just drop

some water on his tongue

sometimes cats like dripping water... maybe keep the water on a drip in the tub or sink in the bathroom....
