What the title says. He's 8 months old and just stopped eating yesterday. I've been forced feeding him very watered down wet cat food/goat milk with a syringe, and he doesn't like being force fed. He's otherwise in good health, he just...won't eat.

My cat did the same thing and we took him to the vet who gave him an antibiotic and a steroid. They also gave him a sub-Q water injection which perked him up right away. It took a lot of hand feeding with meat baby food and tuna, but he finally got better. Right now you have to get him to eat by offering him a variety of food, don't worry about quality right now, just get him to eat! Good luck!

Ok, I just got another 10ml pureed wet cat food into him. I'll get him to the vet in the morning.
