My two Siamese cats, age 4, stopped eating a week after given their vaccinations. This caused them to develop hepatic lipidosis that caused them to drop weight rapidly. I took them to a vet hospital following blood tests at the local vet. I decided to bring them home and so syringe feedings of Hills A/D wet food. After two weeks, they seem to be eating on their own but are not back to their playful selves. I'm wondering if I should continue to supplement food or perhaps add a vitamin supplement or liver detox.
Let me say, the main reason I couldn't leave them at the animal hospital is the cost. It would have been close to $4,000 for two cats to have feeding tubes, IV's, ultrasounds, food, for a week. I just couldn't afford it.
Syringe feeding isn't all that difficult to do at home. We wrap them in a bath towel, hold them close, and pet them between doses.
