Thoughts for Rutherford, please.

Well, he barely nibbled his dinner. SIGH.

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

Is there a sore tooth they missed in an exam?? Or a small mouth ulcer they didn't see??

Is it possible that he has a sore throat? It was that that stopped Nougat from eating and she showed no other symptoms of a cold.

I've seen cats eat fairly well even when they've had bloody mouths (a few FIV cats before their dental surgeries) or bad teeth, and I remember my vet telling me that most cats will eat in spite of having terrible mouths.

Rutherford is a gorgeous hunk and it's distressing to think of him just not wanting to eat. I hope the tests show something, but nothing really bad, simply so that you can focus on a treatment.

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that Rutherford isn't eating. I sure hope that he'll eat something soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

That's all I can think of too...something small stuck in his teeth or something that makes eating uncomfortable...

I know you would ask your vet....any news?

C'mon, baby, eat your food!

Poor handsome Rutherford. I sure hope you find something to tickle his appetite fancy. I wonder what could be up with him?

Feel better soon gorgeous boy.

I'm sorry to hear that Rutherford is not feeling well. My first thoughts were maybe his gums are sore? I hope you find out something conclusive soon!

Hugs,
Kim
