    Thoughts for Rutherford, please.

    Rutherford went to the vet today. He has not been eating. He nibbles or licks a very VERY small amount, but has not eaten a bowl of food for, I bet, 3 days.

    He does not ACT sick! And even though I do have several cats sneezing and coughing and 1 with a watery eye (kitty cold going around), Rutherford seems perfectly fine.

    As a matter of fact, if I didn't actually seperate the cats for their dinner, I would never have known about this. He isn't lethargic or painful.

    Well, any way....... I am to give some subQ fluids and wait for test results. (tomorrow)

    In the meantime, I hope I can tempt him with SOMETHING to eat.

    I hope rutherford starts to eat. I know form experience that this is the most helpless feeling in the world when you watch one of your babies not eating and wanting them to eat so bad.

    Oh no! Poor Rutherford! I hope he's going to be ok. Which one is he in your collage, or do you have a larger pic of him??

    I can bring you some of the Fancy Feast uppity new canned foods (the mousses and all that stuff). Let me know if you need anything or just need a shoulder! I'm here... only a few blocks away.

    I sure hope this isn't anything serious. With the kitty colds going around maybe his nose is stuffed and he isn't smelling the food enough to tempt him. I will watch for updates.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    NO, but I did try REAl tuna! no go.

    I gave him his fluids about half an hour ago and now he is in his room (HOPEFULLY) eating. I'll go back in soon to see if he ate or not.

    Well, he barely nibbled his dinner. SIGH.

    What could be preventing him from eating that doesn't show ANY other symptoms?
