My cat been vomiting

Question
My cat has been vomiting, not eating and drinking very little water. I noticed that he is losing weight, and his fur color is changing from white to yellowish...what could that be?

Answer
Could be that he is suffering from liver failure. If his skin and fur are white then you would see the yellow color of his skin if that is the case.

You need to get him into a vet asap or he isn't going to last long. It might be too late now. Any time a cat stops eating they are subject to developing fatty liver disease as a side effect along with what ever is causing the lack of appetite to begin with. It is hard to turn this around.

The rule is to NEVER let a cat go three days without eating or these effects can start. Fatter cats are more prone to it, but obviously something is very wrong with your cat.

He needs to be seen right away.

I hope he survives this and gets well. Please let me know how he does.
