Got a 2 year rescue from a shelter about 2 weeks ago. She was a surrender from a woman who had her since a kitten. She is happy, playful and healthy and ate Whiskas according to their paper work. She is 8.3 pounds..according to the Vet she is rated PERFECT/IDEAL as for body size/shape/eight.
We got her home and she was eating a good 4-5 oz a day not problem of quality, grain free wet food. Then she got a upper respiratory and on zithromax for 5 days. Her appetite gradually has decreased. She finished her 5 day dose last Thursday but is eating maybe 1.5-2 oz a day.
She is peeing, pooping, playing and well hydrated and no vomiting or anything. But won't eat more than that.
Took her back to the vet a week early just out of fear (we lost our 10 yr old to heart failure a month ago). They checked her over and said the respiratory was doing fine all was progressing. They chalk up her hiding and not eating much to maybe still stress of a new place and being given oral meds.
I have tried putting out 3 or 4 kinds of wet food at a time spaced around. NOPE. I even put out maybe an oz of dry and she nibbles at that (despite never eating except her week at the shelter) but will not eat more than maybe an ounce or so of wet.
Not sure what to do? Just seems like she isn't eating enough to maintain...
