So this is about my parents' cat, Toby. He's 17, and they just can't really get him to eat. He's lost a lot of weight. He seems to be nauseous and without appetite, but no one knows why. He's had x-rays, bloodwork, and everything has come back normal. Mirataz used to stimulate his appetite, but now doesn't seem to be working because his nausea overpowers it. He's taking Cerenia and Pepcid and it helps a bit, but not always. It seems to help less and less each time. He is drinking plenty of water. He's gotten constipated a couple of times.
So basically, Toby is going to die if he doesn't start eating, but we don't know what's causing the nausea/stopping him from eating. Has anyone had these issues before? We're really desperate. The vet said maybe IBS, but this seems so extreme. Otherwise, he's in really great shape, including his kidneys.
