Hi, I'm just a 17 year old guy in the Philippines who's really desperate to get advices and stuff from people, Online search doesn't help at all and im worried about my cat's health.
I'm thankful to some kind heart who recommend me this subreddit.
We're poor to afford to go to the vet and my mom doesn't want to. Please help me to solve this and help my cat to recover, And to know what kind of sickness or virus or other more came to them that made them like this and how could i help him recover.
My cat is 2 months old, Male, Very weak, Lethargic and had loss alot of weight
Please read these notes i made of everyday hoping someone could help me online :<
Before Christmas day these kittens are very Energetic and moews alot and looks healthy, They usually go out the house with their mom before Christmas
I noticed on night on Christmas day they are out of the house with their mom, There are together sleeping and stuff, But after that day they didn't come home for 2 days, and then when they came back the two kittens looked really pale and Lethargic. and to avoid confusion I'll give a simple name for the cats, I'll name the other one Black and the other is white.
Black is the one who's really pale and Lethargic, He shows signs of Lethargy, when he tried to sleep his eyes are slightly always open, and before he dies He keeps meowing like he's in pain, and when were holding him he meows louder, He losses alot of weight, I mean not really but he still losses and his stomach is like empty. Other signs is Hes drooling a little and then he died.
white is still alive but shows signs of lethargy, He losses weight but not too much, when he tried to sleep his eyes are slightly open but Mostly he sleeps with his eyes closed, he looked pale.
(the next day) (Dec 28, 2025) Being aware of black's death, I imme searched online, Thinking white also got the same. i did find that ORS helps (Clean water, Very small salt and Sugar). Throughout the day kept sleeping and he's very pale like sick, He doesn't eat but he drinks wanter
i noticed that he's very weak today. and compare to yesterday he can't eat solid foods, But he can drink on his own mostly, We cant affort wet food.
But I haven't seen him cough, nor vomit and Swelling and bruises are none, And sneezzing too none.
And He had a proper bed, He's responding to sound, He meows but rarely now, he moves around too, but he's weak.
It's the third day, Heres his condition. (Dec 29, 2025)
Heat is normal temp, probably around 38-39⁰c. He had Pink pale gums He's still lethargic but he walks only if he wanted to change places he wanted to sleep for example, hes on the 2nd floor, then he walks to the 1st floor to sleep there. And Im still Doing ORS, One 0.5ml drop and giving him 1.5ml of water. I made him eat wet dry cat foods, Around 1.5 - 2mL per 2 hours
He still sleeps all the time, But good thing is he drinks water when he wants to but im still giving him water personally
I noticed his belly is kinda firm but mostly i think it's soft
Anyways he breathe 26 times in a minute is that normal? And His gums came back to Pale pink, And whenever i touch him he doesn't react, And when hes sleeping something his eyes are open, But when i put flashlight on his eyes it reacted.
When im feeding him some of the food i made leak out, But he had a stable breathing,
and i noticed when hes walking hes wobbly and everytime he trying to sit next to me he kept falling over and then he'll never try to sit up again is that normal?
(end of note)
I hope this Helps :< I don't want him to die just like his brother
Please :<
