my cat all of a sudden just started hacking up and foaming out of his mouth. he wont eat or let anyone touch?

Question

he wont let anyone touch him or eat anything. he is very skinny and i just dont know what to do because i dont have the money for a vet right now

Answer 1

Sounds like hairballs. Can you get him some hairball remedy at your local pet store? If not, contact your vet and ask for payment terms, I like kitties to much to see them in ill health.

Answer 2

well i think that the foaming @ the mouth could be rabbies and being to skinny and not eating could mean many thing A: it has diabetes's my cat has this and lost a lot of weight and stopped eat so we had to take her to the vet and she has to have shots now. B: if it's not neutered you might consider this it will help or it should help. C: he could have Lucienne my old cat had this and we had to put him to sleep. D: your cat is insane. E: your cat is just a grumpy old man. i suggest you get him to the vet i know you don't have the money now but put some a side for just your cat and if you don't get him in soon there is a possibility he could die.

Answer 3

take him to an animal shelter and let them put him down. There is no reason for either of you to have to suffer through this. If he's unhealthy and skinny and you can't afford a vet. You need it put down. The shelter will do it for you.

Above all - don't let that cat leave your house and out in public. You could be held responsible if the cat attacks, bits or comes in contact with an adult or God forbid a child.

Answer 4

Sounds like your cat is having seizures. You really need to get the cat to the vet ASAP. My friends cat had this happen, and they waited too long, and the cat had to be put down. Go get the cat help before it is too late. You cannot ignore this, you must take care of the cat at once. If you have to, borrow money from somebody, never let an animal suffer.

Answer 5

Hairball!! If you can't get him to the vet make sure hes got lots of water and hartz makes some hair ball remedey. I'm sure theres other brands too. Go to major pet supply store and try that.

To the above guy, do we put down people when they get a little nauseas?? Have a heart man, the cat will be fine, geez.

To the girl below, its because they can't take in their food becuase the hair is blocking the way, so if the food can't get to the stomach to get digested, they can't get the nutrients from it.

Answer 6

get your cat to the vet today!he could have many things, rabies, cancer, feline aids, leukemia, you dont know. It doesnt take long for a cat to become seriously dehydrated either. Within hours. So, take your cat to the vet and tell them you need help with the payments. Like a payment arrangement? Do not let it suffer.thanks

Answer 7

He probably just got into something that upset his stomach. he could have eaten a fly or any other bug. They normally throw up once or twice and then are fine a few hours later. Give him some fresh water and try putting an ice cube in it. I don't know what it is with ice cubes but they help my cat. You can also try to give him some fresh grass from out side. It is said to help calm their stomachs. If he isn't better by morning, look into taking him to a voulenteer vet shelter.

Answer 8

You don't have the money, but you need to find a way to take it to the vet!!! Talk to your vet and see if they will allow you to make payments until you are able to pay all the bill. I am sure that if this is life threatening for this cat they will care more about saving it first and worry about payment later. TAKE IT TO THE VET NOW!!!!

Answer 9

foaming at the mouth is a symptom of rabies...

don't let him bite you and don't get near him...if he bites anyone they are really likely to get rabies and rabies is a very serious fatal disease...you need to take your dog to the vet becuase rabies is going to kill it

Answer 10

you need to get your cat to the vets he might be really sick. if you can't afford a vet then you shouldn't have any aminals. they need to be taken care of just like kids.
