Help. My cat is sick: drooling, losing weight, low temp...?

Please provide any diagnosis and possible treatments.



My 7 year old male neutered cat has been under the weather for at least a week now.



He drools (clear, like mucous) a lot. (He use to seem to only drool when happily relaxed around me, but now this is much of the time (when I see him, anyway).)



He seems to have low body temperature (cold feet, arms, legs, ears). He cuddles seemingly to try to keep warm.



I also see some hair loss on the outer side and top areas of his ears.



He is definitely losing weight, but he eats (I see him eat sometimes;still eats treats %26amp; jumps on counters to get foods, too).



His hair is still nice, but doesn't look as good....and the fur on the back of his hind legs looks kind of oily/greasy... kind of wet looking, but it isn't. Not sure if my other cats are doing the grooming for him or not.



Other than those symptoms, I am not aware of others. I have not taken his temperature nor other vitals.



Can I help him? Homeopathic remedies?

Well, first of all, you have NO idea what's wrong with him -- so you can;t heal what you don't know.



Secondly -- he Desperately NEEDS a trip to the Vet!!!



Please take him there Immediately!!

Yahoo Answers is NOT the place to be requesting a diagnosis for any illness causing the symptoms you are describing.



Take you cat to a vet ASAP.

Take him to the vet as soon as you can!ASAP! Tell the doc that it is an Emergency and that your cat is about to die if he doesn't get any treatment.

Go to the vet.

Please note: no one can provide a diagnosis/suggest treatment without SEEING the animal. No one on Yahoo Answers can suggest a remedy - to do so would be foolish.



He does need to go to the vet. My SUGGESTION would be hyperthyroidism, but ONLY so far as the eating a lot, losing weight and coat condition goes. This is common in older cats (females more than males tho) and is treatable by meds from the vet. The coldness and drooling are not symptoms of this however.



There's no way around it - whichever way you look at it, your cat needs a vet's help.

Take him to a vet hun. There is no home remedy that can solve these probelsm. Its sounds pretty serious.

This cat needs a vet's help.



Help. My cat is sick: drooling, losing weight, low temp...?

Definetely take him to the vet. Also, were you feeding him the type of cat food that was recalled?



Help. My cat is sick: drooling, losing weight, low temp...?

How about a call to the vet?



If he's sick, there's no homeopatic remedies that will be able to cure him, especially if he's diabetic or hyperthyroid.



I think you should call the doctor now, to see about getting in asap, like tomorrow.



Help. My cat is sick: drooling, losing weight, low temp...?

I wouldn't suggest home remedies of any sort at this point: Take him to the vet and find out what's going on.



Good luck.

he might have a tounge ulcer. Check his mouth to see if he has a red spot on hi tounge. my cat had that and he couldnt eat, clean himself or drink. If he does have an ulcer, then he will have to get antibiotics from the vet. Make sure that you take him because it could get alot worse and its worth spending the money on your furry child!

the only best thing you can do for your cat is (take him to the vet)

have you seem him pooh .. the oil and grease onthe hind legs sound s like he has the runs.. Loosing hair and out of sorts .. salvia.. yet still eating .. could be something simple like worms. Have you wormed him recently .. you can get a combination wormer/ defleaer / earmite treatment advocate from the vet it comes as a spot on that you put on the back of his neck. I f you haven't I would try that first .. keep a close eye on him and if he doesn't show signs of improvement get him to the vets.



PDSA will help with any treatment needed and only ask for a donation..



A week is a long time for him to be feeling off sorts. Would you wait that long before going to the doctors..



Help. My cat is sick: drooling, losing weight, low temp...?
