Hi, my 13 year old cat has had a relapse of cancer. We know it's terminal, it has spread through the chest. At this point we are doing palliative care to keep her content. She currently is getting SQ fluids every other day and a daily does of an NSAID pain. I believe it's pirexicam or something like that. Two weeks ago she was less interested in her set food/would eat only some of it, but being a picky eater it wasn't completely unlike her. A week ago she came, sniffed, and walked already. Weird. The next day she refused to even come inspect the way food and we noticed she wasn't eating at all (they are free feed kibble) She still drinks but doesn't eat. She still drinks frequently but has lost a lot of weight and only moves to find a new place or grab a drink. We understand she's in the end stages of her disease but sometimes she looks like she wants to try to eat. She will eat the odd treat but stops after one or two. We've tried baby food, kitten food, wet food, ppl food that she normally begs for. She was given an appetite stimulant and she did eat a little after that but it was short lived. We currently syringe feed her at night to give her her pain meds. We are at a loss as to how to encourage her to eat a bit more

My cat has hypothyroidism and has started taking felimazole for it but it has made her loose her appetite completely. I have given her the most tiniest bit of mirtazapine and she started eating. But effects only lasted a day. I decided to halve her dose of felimazole to just 2.5mg a day to help her eat. Can i give her both these medications together? She's too thin and weak. She needs weight on her now.

My cat stopped eating and drinking 2 weeks ago. I took him to the vet who gave him pills for appetite and stomach discomfort. He appeared better and began to eat and drink. Now all of a sudden he's back where he started

My kitten is not eating. She is less active, sleeps more, but is playful when awake. My vet did give her SQ fluids and said she is just taking longer to recover from a distemper vaccine she just had. She ate a little A/D but is now not eating again. She has lost almost a pound. I am very concerned about this.

My cat is around 2 years old. He is playful and a great loving boy. In October he started to throw up blood. He was treated for an ulcer. About a month later he stopped eating and drinking for 3 days. The vet did blood work and it was clear. This eating on and off went on for 2 months. I treated him with an appetite stimulater and nausea meds on and off. He pukes during this time usually. I have tried so many foods. Along with a GI food he has been consistently on. He stops eating but seems hungry and wants to eat but will not. This will not stop. Vets thought he has a blockage and operated. They found nothing, we are waiting on biopsy reports. He has stopped eating again 6 days post op. I am completely frustrated and about to give up. What is wrong with my cat?

Almost 2 weeks ago our kitten became dehydrated outta no where. We left the house for a few hours upon returning he was super lethargic. We rushed him to the vet. He seemed almost lifeless. The vet kept him for 3 days did IV fluids and ran a cbc determined that his kidney levels were severe. The 3rd day his renal panel was normal he was released from the hospital. When we returned home he changed drastically. Went from a super playful high energy kitten. Now he is barely eating. Ive even resorted to spoon feeding him. He is drinking water and will eat independently most times but its very little and only wet food. He wont play has no interest in doing so. We do take him back to see his vet in a few days. Any suggestions on what to expect or any helpful tips to get him normal again. We've already spent $500 trying to figure out whats happening with him. We all adore him and just want him better.

I have a younger cat who is just barely 2 years of age; I adopted her from a family that housed a hoard of feral cats. She was always small, since she was born. Smaller than the rest of the litter. She ate just fine up until about a year ago, she started getting really picky with food. I can't afford to get her fixed and all the shots that house cats usually get, let alone take her to the vet. I've been trying to change her food, wet food, all of it. She, at most, takes a few nibbles and hides again. She stays under my bed almost all of the time. I do have 2 other cats. One is 7 years old, he actually raised Koffie so they get along fine. The other one is a rescue, she's five years old. She isn't super nice but she's not really mean either. We did just go through a move but it's been weeks and koffie still doesn't eat very much, not enough to keep a steady weight. She has lost a lot of her weight, to the point I can see her hip bones. I'm not sure what else to do, aside from surrendering her to a shelter where I live that would give her the care she needs. I don't really want to lose her but I'm running out of ideas.

I got my cat when she was about 3months old, everything was (mostly) fine (she had some URI problems, but she is a Himmy so that can be expected and of course I gave her L-lysine and some other supplements and she's been totally fine). But she stopped drinking water at about 5 months old, so I switched to wet food and she was ok with that And then almost stopped eating at about 10-11 months (sometimes she'd eat one meal a day or half a meal 2x a day) and sometimes NOTHING AT ALL! she wouldn't eat for 2 full days and the third day I would take her to the vet for IV and the vet thought it might be changes in weather or something like that, so she was put on Mirtazapine for a few days, during the first month, this happened 3 times! (when she's on the med she eats normally) I measure Kcal and water intake every day. So we(me and vets) started to look for any other anomalies/disease. She had MANY blood work, urine, faecal tests, Thyroid, pancreas test and everything the drs can think of basically... X-rays, ultrasounds, needle biopsy on her intestines... FeLV testing, FIV testing twice, all tests were done multiple times and in more than one hospital (except for the biopsy) the 4 vets I went to were all communicating with each other (6 doctors) All came up with NOTHING!!! (we did suspect FIP but it's been about half a year now, if it's FIP, it shouldn't take this long to...>"<...) She is completely normal in every other way, her urine and faeces are normal (if she eats less, obviously there will be less in the kitty litter, but other that everything is normal) and she is not losing weight, (she is still on Mirtazapine and is eating normally, we did try to take her off the med but.. same as the first month...) Also no change of environment or additional family members or anything like that, and she seems quite happy and relaxed most the time~ I tried ALOT of different foods, (she wasn't a picky eater before this weird thing started) I can tell she likes some food better than others, but if she's not on meds, she doesn't want to eat, she just won't eat (off med condition is like that first month, she'd eat sometimes, but sometimes none at all for days, and we go back to the hospital for IV) I am really desperate at this point, and the doctors have no idea what is wrong with her (because all her tests were normal) but I am concerned about her being on Mirtazapine for so long... I really don't know what to do. (the only test we haven't done is surgery, but there is really no reason to do surgery)

My cat had fungal infection on the skin and i start home ttt by miconazole+hydrocodone cream at morning, terbinafin at night, and iodine at afternoon after 2 weeks the infection continue to spread and she start to lose appetite so i took her to the doctor, he gave her fluconazole IM injection. now this is the day 3 after injection and she refuse to eat or drink any thinks, i tried to feed her but she vomit it immediately every time, even water and honey. and now she not urine or stool anything since 2 days. what i can do for my cat? what is the reason?
