I know this isn't the correct place to post this, but it's very urgent. I need responses fast. I don't mind if this is moved, I just really badly want answers.
I have a cat who is a little over 6 years old now. He's never had many health problems, but yesterday, I was laying next to him on the floor, when he gave out a very strange sounding wine. I thought it was nothing, but he did it a few more times, sounding more irritating each time. He started licking his rear very frequently, maybe every 3 minutes. He stopped for an hour, then started back up again at night. It was worse at night. I carried him down to his litter box, where he had diarrhea. It smelled very foul. I don't know if that is relevant or not, but in case it is, I will say so. He then left the litter box, and started licking again, meowing if I touched him. He is doing it again today. He is showing very little activity. When he walks, it is slow. Whenever he isn't being aggressive, I try to pet him around the tail area. He doesn't like that, but still doesn't tend to say much when I do it, but he did this time. He likes to stay by the heaters and lay there for a while. What I think is that he swallowed a string he was playing with. That, or he picked up something from a new cat that I picked up 2 weeks ago, which seems very likely. That cat had all of his shots though, and didn't seem to have any sort of sickness. I don't think this is a urinary infection. I just want to know what it is, and what I should do about it. After I came back from a week trip in Florida, he seemed better. More active, and happier, but something is still strange. His anus is very red, and he still wants to lick it. He won't make painful noise unless I scratch it. This would be normal, but the meow does not sound right. His eyes are also looking weird. He has a small white tissue-like surface moving over the edge of his eyes, the inside part. Not the center, but towards the nose. His nose is also runny. I don't know if he's had any diarrhea like before, but he still seems weird. I'm frightened for him. Should I take him to the vet? Could it be a common flu? Another thing I can think that it is, is he swallowed a string he was playing with, and it's still inside him. He still plays with the new cat, and chases strings, but there are still symptoms of something. I need help.
Thanks so much for any response. Again, sorry this isn't where it's supposed to be, but I couldn't wait any longer. I need answers.
