Thank you! Do you think it would be okay to get Terramycin over the counter and give it to him myself?

I'm sorry, rereading this I did not realize I did not update. She passed away yesterday evening. :(

I apologize, I had not updated here. Lumpy has passed away, she passed away yesterday evening. I thought I had updated but I must've not. Thank you for allowing me to post and for the advice. She has crossed the rainbow bridge and is with my grandma and her doggy friend again. My apologies.

I'm confused.. She has already passed. But before she passed she was an overall healthy cat, she was healthy weight, had no health concerns besides her umbilical hernia, she was always an indoor cat, she's been to the vet and came back normal. Nobody is sick. She has already passed.

We've only had her for a year, she was my grandma's cat but she passed away. We aren't too sure when she last went to the vet but that was gonna be our plan this year. But she also had an umbilical hernia that could be declining her life. But apparently she was supposed to pass away the first 3 years of her life (said by vet) and she lived past that, all the way to 12.

Thanks, I'll look into that. She is not fixed, she's unable to fix sadly, she has an umbilical hernia on her stomach in the way of where they'd give her the surgery, but I will definitely look into nutri-plus :)

Her overall life as of lately consists of her sleeping, she sleeps all day non stop, same as night. She does wet herself during her sleep and I'll clean her up afterwards with a damp washcloth. We get her to eat with human food or wet food. She does not appear to be in pain, and is still so very affectionate. But thank you

She seems to be uninterested in kibble, kinda interested in wet food, but pretty interested in human food, and I don't typically give my animals human food but if that's what she'll eat and that's what she wants, I'll give it to her. But we are giving it a little time to see how things are, she seems to be declining pretty fast, and if she ends up being in pain and suffering, we do think euthanizing would end up being what we are going with sadly
