Anika Losing Weight, SAY A PRAY TO MAKE HER EAT, PLEASE I NEED YOUR PRAYS ASAP!

Get her teeth checked too - thoroughly! There may be something with her teeth that makes eating uncomfortable.

Maybe the good old chicken baby food for humans?

Come on, sweetie, eat!

I know exactly what you are going through (with the exception of the urine problems). Taz did the not eating thing when he was about 10 (yes, it's young).
And in fact, Taz is doing it again now. I am in Reno and he is at my moms. She asked me if she should take him to the vet. I gave her some suggestions to intice him to eat (like putting tuna juice in his food). She's going to try it. But if she feels he needs to go to the vet she will take him.

I hope your vet can help you figure out what will help her begin to eat again. Steriod (or cortizone) shots usually work well. I'll go that route again if necessary myself.

Catty is right, her teeth could be an issue and if it's causing her pain that might explain the peeing.

Scout just finished antibiotics for an abscessed upper canine. It had gotten so bad that her tooth was getting longer because the swelling was pushing the root down. I didn't even realize anything was wrong until I noticed her tooth looking longer plus she wasn't eating well the few days before I took her to the vet. Now we think she could have been our other peeing cat because she was in pain and trying to tell us. One possibility for Anika.

Catty,

I had her teeth checked earlier this year and 2 were pulled that the vet said were bad and she's had other appointments after that just to make sure her gums were healing well and the vet said they looked great and I looked at them last night and her gums looked good....

Thanks,
Melissa

Here is the thread I had about her teeth getting pulled.
