Cat with goopy eyes and not eating?
I have a 7 year old strictly indoor cat. Our cat and dog don't get along very well so she tends to stay on my kids' bunk beds. Yesterday my daughter said that she hasn't been eating. When we went to check on her, we noticed that her eyes are all goopy as well. Is this something we need to call today (on Easter) or can it wait until tomorrow? Do vets charge extra for holiday calls?
It depends on your vet. If your vet has an emergency number then I'd call him/her and see what they think. Is there an animal hospital in your area?
If you decide to wait until tomorrow then try giving her some tuna today. (make sure it's water packed and not oil packed) Most cats (even when sick) will eat some tuna or at least some of the juice. It'll help get some nutrients into her system. Make sure her water is fresh and near wherever she's lying so it's easy for her to get to it.
Hope everything works out for you!!!!
look for red spots everywhere in the mouth and the back of her throat. these are both symptoms of the cat flu. Contact a vet asap. its very contagious to other cats and humans can spread the illness through hands and clothes. she should be okay Ive had cats with the illness with no vet assistance but they got very very very ill. Go 2 the the vet 4 sure its less painfull for the cat if u do.

Your cat probably has the flu, which can be serious. Tomorrow will probably be okay to take her in, but it's hard to say how emergent your cat is though.
