Hi guys.....well, we brought our baby girl home last night. I set her up in one of the spare bedrooms with her litter box and food/water. I wanted to see if she'd eat or use the potty, but no to both. I coaxed her with everything I could think of this morning, but no luck. Can you guys suggest anything? I tried roast chicken, 3 differnt kinds of smelly/fishy cat food, a can of tuna.
Hi Susie I can't really help with suggestions maybe some of the gravy from the cat food?
I'm glad she's home with you. for Trixie!

Has the vet prescribed an appetite stimulant?
When Sadie recently went anorexic because of nausa from irritable bowel...
a Diazepam based mix help immediately.
It can have negative side effects in some kitties but worked for Sadie....
we were desperate.
Below is a link to Tanya's CRF info about getting kitties to eat.
Maybe it will have some helpful ideas you can use.

More on the way for Trixie and lots of
for you.
Someone already suggested it, but, try some meat baby food.
Other things to try:
- treats (if she normally likes treats)
- a brand of cat food called Before Grain, the canned quail. A lot of kitties seem to like that one
I'm so sorry you are going through this.... Lots of coming your way. Please let us know when you get the test results back.

Sending more healing love Trixie's way.
Susie, I am just so sorry Trixie is not feeling well and sending so many prayers her way.
When cats dont eat for a while, their blood sugar can drop and make them have no appetite, put some Karo syrup on her gums and see if that will stimulate her to eat.
You can get some syringes from the drug store, if you need, to mix some watered down food and give to her in the side of her mouth.
She may be tempted with some baby food right now too.
Many hugs to you all.

Thanks everyone.....I tried all kinds of things last nihgt and this morning. I did get her to lick some juice from some seafood kitty stuff. She licked it maybe 6- 7 times.........I really thought she'd eat some, but no. She is going back to the vet today at lunch for a pill that is supposed to stimulate her appetite. I pray to God it works because I'm at my wits end on what to do to help my little angel...........Originally Posted by Pami

I hope the pill works too, Susie.
for you my friend.
Oh no! I just saw this thread, and I'm sending lots of that it's not cancer, and Trixie can have a full recovery from whatever is wrong. Since she was willing to lick some juice, maybe you can try adding water to her canned food to make it soupy, and hopefully she can get some nourishment that way,
Oh Susie, I was NOT expecting this update.
I REALLY hope the appetite stimulates her appetite!
Given that she licked at the seafood juice, you may want to try what worked for Tuxie. Warm jumbo shrimp. We cooked them than ran them under cool water until they were warm and tore them up into little pieces. We were at the "feed him ANYTHING he'll eat" at that point. When that worked for a couple days - we fed him as much as he'd eat - we slowly mixed in other stuff. Crushed up kibble, so at least little pieces would stick to the shrimp. Then we added at little beef baby food and warm water, so it was kind of a pastey goo.
