Not sure if cat is sick or not
Hey all so both of my cats have been acting a little strange as of the last week. I have a male orange long hair 1.5 years (Waylon) and a female black short hair about a year (Willie) neither of them have had a hair ball and I've had them both since they were about 6 to 10 weeks
About a week ago Willie started doing this gaging thing nothing comes up but it's abnormal for her. Yesterday Waylon started the same and he's been gagging a lot today like every few hours he'll gag like 5 times in the span of 10 minutes. Then be normal.
Waylon also has this labored meow when a pick him up. He sometimes meows at me when I pick him up but this is not like those times he seems in pain. I don't pick Willie up so idk for her.
Finally they have had food in their bowl for like 10 hours and ate very little. Typically it wouldnt be gone by now but there would be some missing.
The vet is kind of worst case. I live in a small town with one vet and I just kind of made an enemy of him and an ass of myself when he screwed up a treatment for ear mites admitted it and still was gonna charge me an extra 80 bucks per cat for a little syringe of ear mites stuff. so I'd have to travel at least an hour and a half to a vet. I will do it absolutely if I have to, but if I can get something at the pet store and not make that drive that would be ideal.
