Hi all. I posted here last week when my cat was put to sleep after a sudden illness. It seems my trouble is not over yet.
My other cat has gradually stopped eating, prior to my other cats death, her appetite had been reducing, but she was still eating enough to get by. She’s normally a real greedy guts!
She has pretty much stopped eating now, I took her to the vets yesterday, they couldn’t find anything wrong so possibly thought she might be grieving, and gave her a jab of cortisol (cortisone? One of the two) to stimulate her appetite.
She nibbled on a couple of dreamies yesterday that’s all I could get her interested in, and now she won’t eat at all, I’ve tempted her with everything I can think of! Cat milk, dreamies, ham, fish, so in. She just sniffs and looks away. She’s really sedentary as well, she’s usually pretty active.
I’m not sure what to do now, she seems to have hit the self destruct button for some reason and I don’t know whether to take her back to the vets despite no more symptoms or signs of illness and out her through extra stress, or keep her at home and monitor, and if her number is up just make sure she has a few last nice days of cuddles at home. Any advice or good news stories from anyone else would be extremely welcome!
