19 Yr old cat. Could she be dying?

My cat smokey is 19 years old and Im terrified that she may be beginning the dying process. She has been showing her age alot more in the last few months, but in the last few weeks things have gotten a lot worse. She very suddenly lost her hearing about 2 weeks ago. i was vacuuming 2 ft away from her while she was sleeping and she didnt even flinch. She looks like she has lost some weight also. It seems like all her bones are sticking out a little more, especially her backbone. For the last three days she has been vomitting 3 and 4 times a day, and all she is throwing up is water it looks like. It would seem as though she hasnt eaten in the last 3 days or there would be at least some kind of food in the vomit. And yesterday she had diarhea pretty bad. She has been drinking all the time though. Just throwing it all back up i guess. Her eyes have been very dialated also when there would seem to be plenty of light. She does sleep all the time but that was pretty close to the way she was before. And yesterday she became very needy. She has been slowly19 Yr old cat. Could she be dying?
SOUNDS LIKE SHE GOT HOLD OF SOMETHING BAD AND ATE IT.

You should get her to a vet just to be on the safe side although she may get through the problem herself. Keep a close eye on her.Hope she pulls through19 Yr old cat. Could she be dying?
You haven't taken her to the vets yet to be checked?



If this is kidney or thyroid related, it's most easily treatable as soon as it's caught,not weeks or months down the line when things have progressed too far to reverse. The longer you wait the more assured you can be that both these would kill a cat.



The loss of weight is a danger factor, and one indication that the cat NEEDS to go in for a checkup. This isn't just 'old age', this is symptoms of something developing in your cat and it's gone untreated for at least 2 weeks already. Please get her in. Old age doesn't sneak up and hit a cat like this. Something is happenening to her.
