Need possible treatment options for a sick cat. weight loss, anorexia, lethargy?
Stephen J asked:
My friend’s cat has lost a tremendous amount of weight over the last 3 and is now rail thin. He may eat only a bite or two of food, and I have not observed him actually pass a solid piece of excrement (they have 2 cats, so I can’t be certain). He had marked behavioral problems for several months before this happened. (spraying, defecating outside the box, urinating on beds and pillows) They do not have the money to take him to the vet and his condition just seems to be getting worse and worse. He is completely passive at this point and has begun drinking water from the sink and toilet rather than his (clean) waterbowl. Any ideas? Any complimentary medical advice? I suspected a compaction, and was giving him several tablespoons of olive and flax seed oil to try to lubricate the intestines, but to no effect. Please help..
