Yesterday, my mom went to the pet store and got her new food. Snow has been eating the same food for f4 years so my mom thought she was tired of eating the same thing. Well, we dumped out the old food and put some new food in. Snow ate a couple pieces but that was it. At least she's improving!

What flea meds did you use? If you used Frontline Plus you're not supposed to bathe them for 2 days after applying or else it doesn't work very well. If you used an OTC flea med plus a flea bath she may have gotten an overdose of Pyretherins. It's also possible if she has a desire to eat but won't, that her teeth/mouth are painful to her and she is incapable of eating.

Either way a cat not eating is serious. Cats can only go a few days without eating before it starts causing some damage to the organs.

Regardless of the reason I would get the cat to the vet today or tomorrow at the absolute latest. Keep us posted on Snow!
