Hey guys,
I'm really desperate, my cat is 16 years old and sort of just stopped eating about a month ago and got really thin, so I took him to the vet. They checked him and told me his kidneys wouldn't work properly and they told me to give him medication, which I did. He started eating again for a few days but then stopped and got thin again, until I took him to the vet a second time. This time everything was alright with his kidneys and he also ate there, but as soon as he got home he stopped eating again. I really tried all kinds of food, including fish and meat from the grocery store, but he would just stare at it and walk away, even though I can clearly see how hungry he is, he always comes running when I give him food, but then never touches it. Any idea what the problem is? I can't afford to take him to the vet every other week for a few days, the last two times had cost almost 400$ each. Thanks for your time and help!
