My cat is off his food and his third eyelid has become visible. We took him to the vet and he gave him 3 injections of anti-biotics and said that it was probably a bacterial infection, as it has happened again so soon I am quit worried.

That doesnt sound good that she's passing blood. It can never be a simple problem for this to keep happening. She's quite an elderly cat so the possible causes get more serious too and are too long for me to list. I really think you should get her checked by a vet as it keeps happening.]]> Cathy Wickenden Ask The VetTue, 19 Feb 2013 21:47:28 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,22124#msg-22124 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,22124#msg-22124 Anne Tune Ask The VetTue, 12 Feb 2013 10:11:48 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,21535#msg-21535 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,21535#msg-21535
If any cat is eating loads but getting thinner there simply has to be a problem. I suspect your cat could be suffering from a hormonal imbalance which is caused by an overactive thyroid gland. The symptoms you describe are often what cats brought in to our clinic with this condition look like. Hyperthyroidism is very common in cats over 10 years old. Bowel upsets, vomiting or diahorrea are often present along with a ravenous appetite and weight loss. It is a serious problem and will ultimately be life threatening if untreated so you need to get her checked by a vet who can perform a general health screen and some blood tests to measure her thyroid function. The great thing about hyperthyroidism is that most cats respond really well to medication which is readily available to treat the problem.]]> Cathy Wickenden Ask The VetMon, 12 Nov 2012 21:24:57 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,21527#msg-21527 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,21527#msg-21527 pam gaskin Ask The VetSun, 11 Nov 2012 16:39:36 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,19513#msg-19513 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,19513#msg-19513 MarkRicher Ask The VetSun, 31 Jul 2011 07:14:40 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,19507#msg-19507 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,2605,19507#msg-19507
My Cat is almost 2 years old and we got her from the SPCA and she has long hair and short hair. She seems to be a tabby cat mixed with a cat that had long hair? Anyway, she had really bad fleas the last summer and we have given her some treatment for it and the fleas are now minimal. however, she continues to constantly lick herself and I have never seen a furball from her.
The problem now is that she is vommiting chunks of her food and it doesnt seem like her food has been properly digested. She doesnt seem like she has a problem and she gets food straight after she has vomited. Could it be something to do with her food? Or is there an accumulative amount of fur inside her that is blocking her food from digesting properly? She is eating Friskies and sometimes canned food. We live on a farm and there are alot of wild cats around, could it be an infection caught off other cats? Im very concerned for her and this has been happening for the last 4 days.

Thanks,

He is usually full of life and cant wait to get outside. But yesterday i noticed his eyes are a bit weepy and he is quite lifeless. He hasnt eaten all of his food today (which never happens) and instead of rushing outside he is curled up asleep on the sofa and seems a bit sorry for himself. Is it just a cold or does he need a vet? (sorry Ive never owned a cat before so just wanted to ask!)
Thanks for your help.

Could be the flea spray, but unlikly, I think.

If she is no better after 48 hours, take her to your vet.

your cat is probably exhausted and stressed out.
Give her the weekend for R&R and see how she is then.

Sadly we had to have Murphy put to sleep yesterday afternoon, we took him to the pet medics who ran some tests and he had had a stroke but also had renal failure and was in some discomfort. A very sad day to lose my little friend. RIP Murphy. thank you for your help.

I assume that your vet has carried out blood tests to check for kidney or liver failure?
Has he been out - could he have been in an accident?

It does sound like he may have become infected by whatever it was that your other cat had. I think a visit to your vet is needed.

My cat is 2 this year, he is neutered as has always been quite healthy and a big cat.
I have noticed this last week he is off his food, doesnt liked to be touched or picked up, when i do pick him up he crys alot! He has lost a lot of weight too.
My other cat was ill a couple of weeks ago, an infection in his uretha(sp?) could he of caught something off him maybe?

I cannot tell you what is wrong with your cat, sorry, but I do think he needs fairly urgent veterinary attention and should be taken to be seen by a vet as soon as possible.

I really am sorry, but there is not nearly enough information for me even to hazard a guess as to what may be wrong.
If she has a fur-ball, and is having trouble bringing it up, a little liquid paraffin ( mineral oil) may help, but if she continues to be dull you should get her examined by a vet.
