A helping hand for Tommy

Hoy mi post es para pedir ayuda, una mano amiga en este momento difícil, ya que literalmente nos quedamos sin nada para emergencias y estoy sumamente preocupada. Desde el día del terremoto mi gato quedo bastante afectado, no le paso nada físicamente pero su actitud cambio bastante, a pesar de eso los dos días siguientes estuvo “normal” solo mas nervioso de lo usual… Pero ayer el tercer día desde la tragedia amaneció muy extraño.

Today's post is to ask for help, a helping hand in this difficult time, as we literally have nothing left for emergencies and I'm extremely worried. Since the day of the earthquake, my cat has been quite affected; he wasn't physically hurt, but his behavior changed a lot. Despite that, for the next two days he was "normal," just more nervous than usual… But yesterday, the third day since the tragedy, he woke up very strange.

Desde que me desperté sentí que algo no andaba bien ya que el no me recibió, siempre me da los buenos días cuando salgo del cuarto, esta vez se quedo acostado la cosa me preocupo aun mas cuando lo llame y vi su actitud indiferente, no era normal ese comportamiento y la cosa que me termino de hacer entrar en pánico fue cuando le vi sus ojitos, sus parpados internos le cubrían la mitad del ojo, me asuste muchísimo.

From the moment I woke up, I felt something was wrong because he didn't greet me. He always says good morning when I leave the room, but this time he stayed in bed. I became even more worried when I called him and saw his indifferent attitude. That wasn't normal behavior, and what really made me panic was when I saw his eyes. His inner eyelids were covering half of his eye. I was terrified.

Mi esposo dice que el esta bien que solo estoy paranoica pero NO, el no esta bien, su comportamiento es anormal, no juega, no bebe agua no come, ayer paso todo el dia sin comer ni tomar agua tuve que acercarle las cosas y motivarlo a comer, al menos pudo hacerlo y por unas horas se mejoro bastante, incluso esta mañana quiso jugar conmigo, sus ojos se veían un poco mejor. Pero en el trascurso del día se fue apagando de nuevo, lleva mucho rato sin comer por mas que intento que lo haga, no ha tomado agua y siento que su pelaje cambio, se ve un poco mas opaco al igual que sus bigotes mas caídos, estoy extremadamente triste y preocupada.

My husband says he's fine, that I'm just paranoid, but NO, he's not fine. His behavior is abnormal; he doesn't play, he doesn't drink water, he doesn't eat. Yesterday he went all day without eating or drinking; I had to bring things to him and encourage him to eat. At least he managed to eat, and for a few hours he improved quite a bit. He even wanted to play with me this morning, and his eyes looked a little better. But as the day went on, he faded again. He hasn't eaten in a long time, no matter how much I try to get him to. He hasn't drunk water, and I feel like his fur has changed; it looks a little duller, and his whiskers are drooping. I'm extremely sad and worried.

¿Habrá una posibilidad de que el terremoto le haya causado algún daño emocional? No lo sé, pero siento que tiene algo malo o que va más allá de eso y necesito que lo vea un especialista para poder sentirme mas tranquila, me siento muy culpable por pedir dinero para poder llevarlo al veterinario sabiendo que hay muchas personas peor que yo en este momento, pero tampoco puedo evitar sentir tanto dolor por tantas cosas malas que han pasado seguidas, de verdad que me siento totalmente devastada y esta situación no ayuda en nada, ahora tambien estoy sumamente nerviosa por mi querido Tommy no se si seré capaz de aguantar otro golpe o que algo malo de pase a algunos de los miembros de mi familia, te pido tu apoyo para poder visitar el veterinario lo mas pronto posible cualquier ayuda es bienvenida, actualmente la consulta esta en $30 asi que ese seria el presupuesto para poder llevar a mi gatito y ver que problema tiene.

Is there a possibility the earthquake caused him some emotional trauma? I don't know, but I feel like something is wrong with him, or that it's something deeper, and I need him to see a specialist so I can feel more at ease. I feel so guilty asking for money to take him to the vet, knowing there are many people worse off than me right now, but I also can't help feeling so much pain because of all the bad things that have happened one after another. I truly feel completely devastated, and this situation isn't helping at all. Now I'm also extremely nervous for my beloved Tommy. I don't know if I'll be able to handle another blow or if something bad happens to any of my family members. I'm asking for your support so I can take him to the vet as soon as possible; any help is welcome. Currently, the consultation costs $30, so that would be the budget to take my kitten and see what's wrong with him.
