A helping hand for Tommy
Today's post is to ask for help, a helping hand in this difficult time, as we literally have nothing left for emergencies and I'm extremely worried. Since the day of the earthquake, my cat has been quite affected; he wasn't physically hurt, but his behavior changed a lot. Despite that, for the next two days he was "normal," just more nervous than usual… But yesterday, the third day since the tragedy, he woke up very strange.
From the moment I woke up, I felt something was wrong because he didn't greet me. He always says good morning when I leave the room, but this time he stayed in bed. I became even more worried when I called him and saw his indifferent attitude. That wasn't normal behavior, and what really made me panic was when I saw his eyes. His inner eyelids were covering half of his eye. I was terrified.
My husband says he's fine, that I'm just paranoid, but NO, he's not fine. His behavior is abnormal; he doesn't play, he doesn't drink water, he doesn't eat. Yesterday he went all day without eating or drinking; I had to bring things to him and encourage him to eat. At least he managed to eat, and for a few hours he improved quite a bit. He even wanted to play with me this morning, and his eyes looked a little better. But as the day went on, he faded again. He hasn't eaten in a long time, no matter how much I try to get him to. He hasn't drunk water, and I feel like his fur has changed; it looks a little duller, and his whiskers are drooping. I'm extremely sad and worried.
Is there a possibility the earthquake caused him some emotional trauma? I don't know, but I feel like something is wrong with him, or that it's something deeper, and I need him to see a specialist so I can feel more at ease. I feel so guilty asking for money to take him to the vet, knowing there are many people worse off than me right now, but I also can't help feeling so much pain because of all the bad things that have happened one after another. I truly feel completely devastated, and this situation isn't helping at all. Now I'm also extremely nervous for my beloved Tommy. I don't know if I'll be able to handle another blow or if something bad happens to any of my family members. I'm asking for your support so I can take him to the vet as soon as possible; any help is welcome. Currently, the consultation costs $30, so that would be the budget to take my kitten and see what's wrong with him.
Uy pobrecito tu gatito :(, no creo que esté enfermo, lo más probable es que esté muy asustado todavía, las mías estuvieron así y luego se les pasó, pero no todos reaccionan igual, algunos son más sensibles. Espero que puedas conseguir el dinero para que alguien lo vea, de todos modos, podrías averiguar con alguna fundación a ver si te pueden ayudar. Saludos @alexa.art.
Hola @vezo tienes razon, realmente fue el trauma del terremoto que lo dejo asi, hoy ha actuado un poco mas "normal" aunque aun le cuesta estar a su 100% sin embargo, lo lleve al veterinario y todo salio bien en su examen de sangre solo tiene el trauma esta estresado y ansioso
Nuestras mascotas sienten todo lo que sentimos, y además también tienen sus propias preocupaciones... espero que ya hoy esté mucho mejor.
Gracias a Dios fue eso y no otra cosa. Es normal que esté así, pobrecito :(, ellos también pueden traumarse. Que bueno que pudiste resolver lo del veterinario, saluditos.
Me alegra saber que estás bien. 🤗
Gracias @nanixxx y @vezo ya se encuentra mucho mejor, cada dia con mas animo y volviendo a ser el gatito jugueton de antes
Ay ñoooooo que bello ese catire!!
oh i hope he can recover soon and that you raise enough funds to take him to the vet 🥲
Thank you so much @bananzell everything is good for now 🤗
Hello @alexa.art I'm so sorry to see that he isn't well. His eyes look the way they do because he has Horner's syndrome which is from a bit of nerve damage and it may be that he injured himself from fear during the earthquake. One of mine had this after a cat fight. You are not wrong to feel concerned and I hope that you can get to the vet as soon as possible, he needs to be seen about why he isn't eating or drinking.
Greetings @nikv 😊, Tommy already had his visit to the vet and the results were quite favorable, thankfully. Today he is much better and is already eating more normally. In the end, the traumatic event of the earthquake was the trigger for all of this, poor thing... We were all very affected by this psychologically, even the animals 🐱
I'm glad to hear that he's been to the vet and will be fine
That is a cute and adorable cat
Take good care
💔 i hope this helps your situation improve.
Hey @emanate-artworx Thank you so much dear, I recently saw that you helped me and I really appreciate your support 🙏 I hope you're doing well 🙌 For my part, things are a little better (at least the situation with my kitten has improved) 🤗
That's a bit of good news. I wish the best for you and your family ❤️🩹❤️🩹
No deberías avergonzarte; los veterinarios son muy caros y yo también estaría muy preocupado, ¡especialmente si no come ni bebe!
Gracias @noemilunastorta por suerte pude llevarlo hoy y todo salio mejor de lo que esperaba!
