I have three cats all eight one of my females had gotten stones after surgery i changed all of the food which was back in april my male cat did not like the change at all he was 22 pounds at the time long story short about a week ago he seemed to stop eating i took him to the vet blood work showed he was anemic and white cells elevated and down to 16 pounds they gave me meds and said he needs to start eating or he is going to die fast i have only been able to get him to eat about a half a ts a day he is drinking a little. Yesterday he would not eat anything and he is plummeting fast he can no longer jump on the beds having a hard time walking. I was able to feed him 3ml with the syringe which is nothing and he did not like it. The vet said it may be cancer but could not tell just from blood work. Does any one have any suggestions on how to get him to eat or what foods may be easier to give him i have tried tuna salmon and those were the ones he was eating a ts of a day.any help would be greatly appreciated

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

Gumby, I'm sorry to hear your baby is sick. First let me say that this is a great resource for suggestions and advice. My Buddy became ill a couple months ago and I have received great support and help with his care.
I am appalled and surprised that the vet didn't keep him and put him on an IV or use some other emergency treatment! If I were you I would IMMEDIATELY take him to another vet and get a second opinion fast, his life depends on it. Perhaps it is cancer buy what if it isn't? There are so things that can cause a cat to not eat and many problems that can be caused by not eating and weight loss that are life threatening. I doubt that it is from a diet change in April especially if you are only now seeing problems. What kind of food do you feed? Have you checked for food recalls from the manufacturer?
My best advice is get to another vet, he needs to be helped and from what you wrote, it does not seem like your vet is very interested in helping.
Please don't give up on this forum, I know it must have been hard to not get a response sooner. Let us know how he is doing, we all care.
Prayers and positive thoughts going your way.
