Already tried that. Made no difference whatsoever.

Already tried that. We kept him in for six weeks when we first got him and during that time he only ate about two small bowls of dried food in total, despite being offered a wide variety of food. We thought his appetite would improve as he got used to being with us but if anything, it's got...

No, no-one else is feeding him and as I've already said, I've tried every cat food available plus every other kind of food.

Thanks for your reply but as I said, my cat does not like ANYTHING. I've spent the last ten months trying to find a food that he likes.

I got my lovely ginger cat from a shelter about ten months ago. They weren't sure about his age but they said he was probably about ten months at the time, so that makes him almost two years old now. He has never eaten wet food, we've tried every cat food available, we've tried fresh meat...

Thanks guys, we've already tried all of that, not much point though when he sicks it back up. We've now decided enough is enough, the vet is a waste of time and money and it's not helping our poor cat at all, so we're going to try the homeopathic approach, we're not prepared to overload his...

Hi, I've posted before about my cat, who had all his teeth extracted about a month ago due to stomatitis. He was fine for a while, eating well and seemed happy, then two weeks later he stopped eating and was hiding away. We took him back to the vet and he was given a general antibiotic and...

Saw the vet today and she said it looks as though his gum around one of the stitches has become infected. He's on painkillers and anti inflammatory meds . She's taken the remaining stitches out and cleaned his mouth out and sent a swab of the infected area off for tests so that she can give...

Hi thanks for the replies. He still hasn't eaten so I'm going to phone the vet first thing in the morning to get him an appointment. The mad thing is, our other cat seems to be off his food, too, but he's still acting normal and has bags of energy. I know cats can be fickle but it's not like...

Hi, our two year old cat recently had surgery to remove all of his teeth due to stomatitis. Prior to that he had ten teeth removed in the hope that it would solve the problem, but unfortunately it didn't, so two weeks ago we took him in to get the rest taken out. He dealt with it very well, he...

Hi everyone, I could really do with some advice. We've got two cats, Jasper, who's a year old, and Shiloh, who's around eighteen months. Jasper was here first and then we got Shiloh a few months after. They were both rescue cats. Shiloh was with a family for the first year of his life but...

Hi there, this year has been awful, we lost out ten-year old cat in February, then we got two cats from a rescue shelter and lost one of them to FIP. We have recently got another cat from the shelter, we've had him for about two months, a beautiful boy just over a year old. We named him Shiloh...

Thanks for all your replies, i will follow them all up.  I am considering changing vets, there is one nearer to me anyway so it makes sense.  First I intend to speak to the senior vet at the practice I'm with now and find out exactly what's going on.  Zula's just ate a big breakfast and right...

Hi all - I wrote a while ago about my little kitten,  Zula.  She is tiny for her age, she's around six months old now.  We got her from a rescue centre and I was concerned because she was just hiding away, sleeping, not playing or doing any of the things kittens do, except eating and going to...

Hi all, sorry I haven't been online for a couple of days, just catching up with the replies now.   Zula's slowly making progress (very slowly!)  at the moment she's lying on a cushion in the window and she looks quite relaxed, which would have been unheard of a week ago.  She has fallen asleep...
