Please help - senior 16 year old cat
Hi, my cats name is Twinkie and he is 16 years old.
As of a couple weeks ago, he started having some health problems. He seems to have difficulty breathing and is having coughing fits. But those coughing fits have turned into wheezing and him only being comfortable laying on his side. When he's not laying on his side, he seems like he's having trouble breathing.
We took him to the vet this Saturday (5/16) where they gave him antibiotics and an allergy pill to take. So far, it does not seem like the antibiotics are helping him. In fact when I woke up this morning to go check on him he seems to be bleeding down there and I'm not sure if it's because he's straining to poop or pee. But his food bowl is untouched and I'm honestly not sure how much water he's drinking right now. He just honestly seems very lethargic and I don't see him move from the spot very often. A couple weeks ago he was still very energetic, playful, and talkative, senior cat. Now we're even lucky if we can get a meow from him. Please help out!
