Can my cat detect medicine in his food? Tried feeding food without medicine still not interested. He is having some UTI problems and is currently on baytril once a day. But this evening he wouldn't even touch his food.
He seems normal in all other respects, at least that I can tell. He is cleaning himself, sitting on my lap, sitting in his window watching the birds. He has never been really playful, so his activity level has always been minimal. He is 16 lbs. and I am trying to get about 3 or 4 lbs off him. But my sister recently lost a cat that just stopped eating, so I know this can be serious.
He has been to the vet and the vet said he should start showing me interest in eating after having some of the medicine. Well if he won't eat his food how is he suppost to get his medicine. I don't really like my vet and have look into a new one. I'm thinking that taking him for a full check over with the new vet might me the best bet.
How long can he go without eating, or showing a interest in eating would it become a real problem health wish for him. I have not seem him drink water, but I am not home to monitor this like I would like to. He has three places thoughout the house. Always fresh and not out of the tap.
I am worried he is my baby
. Any suggestions for other food that might peek is interest would be appreciated.
Thanks, Laurie
