My 6 year old male cat has no interest in eating or drinking water. It started yesterday evening. I took him to the vet that evening. The vet said his temp was normal, however he has some gas in his small intestines. He was quiet to entire night, usually he runs around the house like a mental patient. I took him back to the vet this morning, they took an x-ray, his temp, blood and hydrated him. Everything was normal, as well as his blood. However, he is still not eating or drinking. He has soft stoole, I wouldn't call it diarhea. We wre beside ourselves in trying to figure out what to do. Other than this he was perfectly healthy with no issues. Also, the vet said there's no obstruction and the gas that he felt in his small intestine has moved to the large (as per the xray). We tried to force feed him using a siringe and watered down food, he still has no interest. He's still very affectionate and purrs, etc. I should also mention that his eyes water all the time, they seem to be a bit more since this event.
Also, our other 8 year old male was brought to the vet on Friday evening with a herpes flare up - his third eye lid was red. It was treated with a cream and is almost back to normal. He was brought to the same vet.
There have been some changes to the environment:
1- New living room furniture
2- New den furniture
3- Put up the christmas tree in den.
4- We got a new 6 month old kitten in October. She has seen the vet and had all vaccines and tests. When we first brought her home she had bad gas, however we asociated that with a change in food brand. It has since cleared up.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Paul
