Please keep my mom's adopted "Rainy " Siamese kitty in your thoughts-
We have a vet appointment tomorrow -
Rainy is about 10 yrs old ( older than what they said when adopted )
She is acting off for a couple of days , hiding , Eating less ,but drinks the normal amount of water -
(Not tenting with Tugor skin test -)
Rainy is her only pet , indoor only kitty -
My mom had some health issues past couple of months and now this
I am going with her to the vet - and preparing to help out with home SubQ fluids etc-
My mom is very upset bcz this cat is all she has after her husband passed -
My mom has upcoming follow up appoints from her own TIA stroke amd now her kitty is ill
I have my suspicions of what is going on with Rainy and keeping all paws crossed
Any thoughts of what it may be to ask the vet (besides the things I will ask to rule out) ?
At a minimum I told my mom she needs blood tests and an oral exam
10 yrs old , indoor only , only pet
Not eating well - to not at all today
, drinking water normally no more no less, some weight loss over few weeks
No vomiting, no poo issues , no sneezing , no coughing
(I worry because she lets in and out of her house an obviously indoor kitty that was left behind after people moved - he has been around for two years and I have taken him for vaccines in the past
A big Russian blue like boy with no outward signs of illness at all - but does come in and eat Rainys food amd play with her
I told my mom from the beginning it is not a good idea to let him in and out because of other cats he is probably in contact with unknown vaccines etc
I am worried for Rsiny and my Mom- she is very upset
Paws in prayer and suggestions appreciated
I tried to tell her about the glop recipe amd the clear unflavored pedialyte
