Yesterday, my daughter noticed that Lucky had some poop on his tail and also a little bit around the fur on his butt. Lucky is a long-haired kitty, so as you can imagine, cleaning him is no fun. However, he still has the loose stools. My daughter said that it's like the consistency of thick pudding, but it also has a gravel-like texture. I know he'll need to see the vet, but should I wait to see if it will stop on it's own? The thing that has me worried is that we just celebrated my oldest son's birthday, so my ex-husband is a bit short on money. He doesn't get paid until next Tuesday. As for me, I'm unemployed so I can't pay for the vet. I need a good argument/proof of what can happen to Lucky if he's not taken to the vet. My ex will try to tell me that it will have to wait until next week, but I know cats can go downhill fast. It happened last year with Smokey. I noticed he was off on January 9 and he died five days later. I don't want another cat to die like that, ESPECIALLY since it's been a year that I lost Smokey.
I should mention that Lucky is eating, playing and sleeping normally. It's just his poop that's off. And we can't really tell if it's diarrhea because when we've checked the litter box after Lucky uses it, he covers his poop extremely well.
