my cat is in danger

13 years ago

Hello I'm writing to you from Greece, my cat (she is 8 months old) has not eaten in 3 days, it's hard for her to even swallow water, she gags her eyes are blurry, she was drooling a little bit yesterday and her head was shacking like she had spasms! my vet is out of town and I tried to call the other 2 vets we have on the island but it was Wednesday (half day in Greece) and I couldn't reach them, today was a national holiday and again I could not reach them! She only drinks a little bit of water but I noticed that now she is starting to strech her neck forward like she is having trouble breathing, help please!!!

You can try mixing Karo syrup (a sweet, thickened corn syrup) with a little water & give it to her in a medicine dropper.

If it's distemper, I don't know if it'll help, but Karo sometimes helps with seizures, so it's worth a try.

I am so sorry, & I'm sending good thoughts to your dear kitty & to you.

sounds like Distemper. thoughts would be , give her as much water as she will allow you to give her. get ahold of your vet asap.

It might also be an upper respiratory infection, which may respond to Clavamox, a type of penicillin that you can administer orally.

Feed stores or farm supply stores may carry it.

I had a cat that had swallowed a dime.. and acted much like you describe...It got stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow either.. I would say a vet is definitely needed..
Are there no emergency numbers you can call?? I pray you find help soon..
