The trick is making sure you know they're not eating. Often, they'll eat when you can't see them. Try some wet food, canned tuna, etc. If that doesn't work, try to get that Science Diet - Prescription Diet a/d Canine/Feline Critical Care. The stuff is specifically aimed at cats that don't want to eat (among other things). |

Not true about cats. True about dogs, not true about cats. It's not going to die from not eating in two days, but it will suffer permanent organ damage. Do not kid around with a cat that's not eating.

I'll try getting some tuna today. If nothing helps by tomorrow, then I'm calling the vet in the morning. She basically hasn't eaten since Sunday night. |

I really don't want to scare you, but I did two weeks of this with Mille and eventually had to have her put down. We came to a point where we were giving her subcutaneous fluid injections to keep her fluids up, a pill to stimulate appetite (which she ended up being allergic to) and force feeding her. But we couldn't get enough in her to help. Vet gave us the option of putting in a feeding tube, but by then she already had a distended liver and her kidneys were shutting down. Doc said that only gave her a 10-15 percent chance of survival, even with the feeding tube. We decided to end her obvious pain and put her at ease. The only thing we could get Mille to touch by herself was tuna, but she'd only eat a bite or two of that if it was a good day. |

Took Fat Cat back to the vet today. She still hasn't been eating. Super lethargic. They're doing blood work this time, along with one other test, that's going to be another $132. I'm not sure if I can spend any more if they find something wrong.

Putting her down in less than an hour.
Kidney failure. It's will cost out the wazoo just to see if there's a chance she might have some active left. I just can't do it. |

I'm sorry you have to put her down. It's always a hard thing to do.
