My cat disappeared for a complete day. I think he was kidnapped. When he came back (after 10 PM), he was really nervous and frighten. After that day, he has been vomiting a lot and today he has got sort of a diarrhea and it looks like he is hurting when he is in his litter box. I will take him to the vet tomorrow, but, can anybody help tonight.

Thanks to all of you who cared about my cat. The vet gave him antidiarrheal/antibiotics and he seems to be doing better now.

Do not let your cat eat or drink anything until you take them to the vet. Furthermore, there are 24 hour ER vets everywhere. Take him TONIGHT. He may have eaten something to make him sick... especially if a neighbor poisoned him (happened to someone I know... cat ate antifreeze in milk b/c the neighbor didn't want her in their yard).
TAKE THE CAT IN TONIGHT. Vomiting could have POSSIBLY happened if the cat was in a fight & a nervous wreck (although that's stretching it a bit)... the diarrhea is what has me concerned. Be especially wary if there's blood in either one.

Cats will hide when they are not feeling well, so this may explain his disappearance. My cat once had a urinary tract infection that caused him much pain when he tried to use his litter box. He would awkwardly squat and would let out a horrible howl when trying to do his business, but nothing would come out. We took him to a 24 hour emergency animal hospital as we read on the internet that, for lack of a better description, cat constipation can be very dangerous if it goes on too long. The vet was able to give the cat something that relaxed him and let him relieve himself. My very unprofessional advice is to keep an close eye on your cat tonight and make sure he doesn't appear to get a lot worse. If not, seeing the vet tomorrow should be ok. If he seems to be in really bad shape and you have the means (24 hour clinics can be expensive), take him tonight. Hope I haven't scared you. I was really worried and it turned out to be a very easy fix, so hopefully things will work out.

You should take him to an emergency clinic tonight if possible.
Check the yellow pages. I'm afraid he will be extremely dehydrated by morning if he survives through the night. He might have gotten hit by a car and have internal injuries. Or he may have been poisoned. Getting him to the vet now would be highly recommended. One time my cat got hit by a car and I didn't have the money to pay a vet. I knew it was bad, so I took him to the emergency clinic and told them that I found him in front of my house. I didn't tell them I was the owner. They put him to sleep for free. If I would have told them that he belonged to me, I would have been charged. It sounds bad, but I really didn't have any money and I didn't want him to suffer.

Don't wait. Call up your vet even, someone have numbers on their answering machines for emergencies, this is one of them. It seriously sounds like someone has poisoned your cat. If your vet won't take the cat tonight call up another one that will because your cat has a good chance of dying. If you cannot get your cat to a vet you have to push fluids. You will be up all night doing this but you've got to do it.
You need to give at least 2-3 cups of water orally to the cat as well. To try and deactive whatever posion was given, try giving activated charcoal (mix 25-50 grams of powder with water toform a soup like slurry then administer 1 ml per pound of this mixture), milk (1-2 cups), egg whites (2 per pint of water), and or milk of magnesia (1 to 2 teaspoons mixed with water)
You've still got to get that cat to a vet

through saline do you advise sub.Q fluids? How are you injecting? through mouth or needle? Are you particular the cat can not have iv less than it really is coat. i have considered vets provide fluid remedy with the most dehydrated ( not that your not assisting or making some progression). Are there electrolytes contained in the saline answer? in case you may want to get to the keep & %. up some unflavored Pedialyte & blend an oral syringe of that with some drops of sunshine corn syrup that would want to help her glucose, until eventually the saline has electrolytes already protected. ensure the child nutrition don't have onion powder, although some thing might want to keep her, she would not pick the hassle of a toxin. Gerber's does make one or 2 ingredients w/o onion. day after today get in contact with the vet/s you worked for & see in case you could up-grade her care at minimum value or referral to no-kill shelters for suggestion to breath new existence into her until eventually making your next bypass. yet actual i'd search out any & all i might want to previous yahoo solutions in case you sense the cat is fading, even the medical institution you do not have self belief can sometimes wonder you ( exercising consultation a fee plan) in the experience that your prepared to foster & not merely drop off. conserving you both in my prayers

Take him off food and limit his water. If there is any internal injuries it will be better if he hasn't had any food when the vet sees him, in case he needs surgery. He may have been hit by a car or mauled by a dog with no outward signs. Keep him as quiet as possible and try to contain him in a room or in a carrier, if possible.
Good luck, I hope everything turns out well for you.

Take to a ER vet. My roommates cat recently fell sick and she wouldn't let it out - of course and made sure it had plenty of liquids. She let it sleep with her (wich is unusual) until she could take it to the vet.

From my experience that sounds like wither he got into antifreeze, or someone poisoned him with antifreeze. Take to vet asap! Go to an emergency vet. He needs attention asap!

Go to the vet immediately. Your cat could have ingested some type of poison.

Until you get him to the vet, just make sure he has plenty of liquids, to prevent dehydration.
He might of ate something he shouldn't have, while he was away from home.
If possible, take him to an emergency clinic TONIGHT.
