Hi,

Sylvester is 4 years old.
He's never been ill, so this is all new to me.
He's not eaten in the last couple of days - He's not drank either.  I even
tried to tempt him with his "specials" (Tuna).....to no avail.

He is long haired, and noramlly very shiny, though today, he's starting to
look greasy rather than healthy.  He's not moaning at all but he hasn't been
out for 24 hours - he doesn't have a tray inside, so he's not been to the
toilet in that time either.

It's Sunday tomorrow so there are no vets open.......

I've been crazy busy this weekend, and only just noticed all of this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,
Pete.

Aninmal Hospital today.

Around here they are open 24/7.  Dehydration would be a key danger at
this point.   I would not wait until Monday.

The sooner the better, agreed.

Seeing as your cat does go outside, ask the vet to check for possible
antifreeze in the blood system. As I mentioned in a previous post, if
cats go outside, they are/can be suceptible to antifreeze poisoning. It
is not a very nice thing to watch, and it can kill them rather quickly.
I hope for your sake that this is not the case. As it turns out, if it
is not caught quickly, there is nothing that can be done to help the
animal. The kindest thing that they can to is to put them down. I am
praying that this is not the case for you.

Oh, God, I hope this is not it.

Me too Mary. Unfortunately in my area there has been a significant
amount of antifreeze poisoning being done to cats and dogs. For some
reason, whoever is doing it, either thinks that it is a big joke, or
they really hate animals. There has also been a rash of harm being done
to the rabbits and squirels in our area as well. I know that a lot of
people think that rabbits and squirels are pests, but, as far as I am
concerned, they are all Gods creatures, and they DO NOT deserve to
mistreated in any way. It is rather disheartening to wake up in the
morning, look out of your bedroom window, and see dead rabbits/squirels
in your yard. If you want to get rid of them, then live trap them, and
relocate them.

amazing
well
simple cure to alcoholic woodgrain poison
is feed the victim a beer
not a problem in your area
well we have kids in northern canada who do it for fun

so a few drops of beer in a can of tuna in water causes u a problem

i think it is the last vestibule

Hi Pete,
 It sounds like *maybe* his penis is blocked with crystals - major serious
business. Good luck.....

Emergency vet ASAP!
Jason Allen McPeak - 16 Feb 2005 06:48 GMT
Could be allot of different things, here is a short list I can think of  
off hand;
     Antifreeze poisoning (must act quick to prevent perm. kidney damage)
     Severe constipation (Vet needs to take care of this)
     Urinary tract problem (could be F.U.S., kidney stones, or other, get  
vet quick)
     Could be a kidney or bladder infection, or other U.T.I.

As was said before, dehydration is a serious issue here, as is if he  
cannot urinate, he could be developing a toxic buildup in his blood, if he  
vomits Green bile, he will need to be in a vet E.R. ASAP!!!
