Max refuses to eat

[Catty1]

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.

Please....any news???

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.

This really sounds like hepatis lipidosis, or fatty liver disease. Cats develop this very quickly when they don't eat. It's a critical illness. I agree with others...you need to see another vet.

Has anyone checked his teeth?

He's doing fine. The antibiotic they gave must have slowly helped whatever it was. He's been eating A/D wet food to put weight back on. He's much more happier, frisky and hungry these days. Thanks.
