Catnip is an appetite stimulant, and might cheer him up a little too.
Tell that sweet little sunbeam that he's living proof that life is good!

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear this.I hope he'll start eating soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

No appetite tonight yet.
If you all could just see how super sweet, and calm, and wonderful he is.

When we were syringe-feeding Pyka, we were told to work up to 1 can and 1/4 per day. These are the cans that are a bit flatter and bigger than the Fancy Feast cans.
If Mr Meow is around 10 lbs normal weight, use that as a guideline. Or give your vet a quick call and ask how much he should be getting.
I am wondering about Feliway...anything that might help his mood...
Some subQ fluids might perk his appetite, if he is feeling a bit dehydrated.

The vet said his hydration was good. Never suggested fluids (and she knows I can give them)
Believe it or not, she said about 15-20 ml a couple of times a day. but that does NOT see like a lot at all!
SIGH. If he won't eat by Monday, she wants blood work. Not a bad idea, but I sure wish he would just EAT!

I am sure you tried a few foods, but....is it possible that he is picky and doesn't like the food?
And he has sniffles, so all I can think about is trying really stinky stuff under his nose...
And are his teeth ok?
(I am sure you checked these...but just wondered.)
EAT, BABY BOY!
