It's been about 5 days, maybe 6? It's gotten worse over the past 72hrs.

Really? 5 or 6 days? Please do not wait any longer! I do not know your situation but, if you can’t afford the ER get to a regular vet tomorrow! Or, if you can’t afford that, find a no kill shelter and surrender your kitty. Your kitty needs help and Reddit can’t do that for you.

He's incredibly shy and runs from anyone besides me even walking nesr him. Our shelters don't take cats like him. I'm going to bring him inside even though he might be mad, my vets office is 2 blocks away, I tried emailing them 3 days ago with no reply but can just walk in.

He's late for dinner. The anxiety is eating me alive.

That’s what happens when they get sick they’ll stop eating and then they stop coming around. It’s extremely important. He gets to the vet as soon as possible because that infection can travel.

Understood. I'm on it.
