    Cat question, cat is lethargic, sleeping a lot not eating much
    Took cat to vet had tests done, came back normal. Gave her 2 shots, antibiotic and steroid. Was better that same day, now back to that stage again

    When did the Vet see her? Is she on daily steroids and antibiotics - or was it a one time thing?

    I had my GS dog on steroids and her whole personality changed - she was like the walking dead (and I'm not kidding). Thank goodness it was for a brief period, but still...

    I'd also ask the Vet.

    I don't know much about cats but Wondergirl does... and I'll bet she answers.

    It's twelve days later since her shots. Have you reported back to the vet what's going on?

    My cat is eating some soft food and drinking water, no hard food. I don't think she has went to litterbox. Seems scared or nervous to jump off bed or couch also. She is also very skinny.

    No they are closed now, plus the vet bill before was very high, and I can't afford another high bill right now. We love her very much and trying to find out if anyone or any where can help out.

    Do you read the thread before you answer? The cat is SICK. The Vet gave it an antibiotic and steroids. You recommend a different type of cat food to cure its health issue?
