Max refuses to eat

[Catty1]

OMG - I hope she gets a second opinion - it could save Max's life! Prayers for this dear little kitty.

You can even show her this thread, perhaps.

Please keep us posted!

Maximus has started eating on his own some. He's been on the antibiotic since Tuesday, and that's the only thing thats changed since not eating, so maybe its helping!! He's eating more than he was willing to eat from a syringe, so hopefully he'll get back in the swing of things and continue to eat regularly. I still find it weird that they couldnt find anything in any of the tests they did but somehow the antibiotic is helping. Keeping my fingers crossed that he continues eating on his own!

As long as it's helping, who cares why! lol GOOD that he is eating some on his own...prayers that he keeps moving forward and upward!

I have found that a little Deli Chicken or the little packs of Deli Meat work tricks in tempting a Found Cat appetite!
Prayers for Big Maximus that he gets his hunger back and is well very soon.

Glad to hear Max is starting to eat again after antibiotics. When a cat refuses to eat, something is seriously wrong & it's often the first sign that a cat is ill. Hope he recovers well. By the way, my dog is also named Maximus. Perhaps I'll meet you on the "dog blogs" soon, as have just joined this site. Again, all the best for little Max & hope to hear he's eating well again soon. When they're eating, you know they're pretty much ok.

Hi, Snowhound here again. Just re-read your blog & it sounds to me as if it was something to do with the dry-wall insulation - too coincidental otherwise, as you say the cat was sick shortly after. Cats being so adventurous & inquisitive, he probably went in there & either inhaled/ingested something he shouldn't have, possibly causing mild poisoning or some form of slight obstruction internally somewhere. Please keep us updated - cats are usually very hardy critters healthwise, so something has definitely happened here to cause him not to eat. Best of luck once again.
