We took our 10 year old female cat to the vet yesterday. She had stopped eating and was sleeping a lot. The vet looked at her, did a fecal, took her temp (105), felt her belly and checked her teeth. She has ulcers on her gums and bad tater build up so she recommends having her teeth cleaned soon. She thinks that the not eating is due to a painful mouth. She prescribed Clavamox, Pro-Pectain, Metronidazole and Profender MED. So far today she has eaten a little bit twice, maybe a teaspoon each time, but nothing like her normal eating. She only drank a little water as well. My question is, how long should I wait before going into panic mode and taking her back to the vet? We plan to have her teeth done within the next week or so, (as soon as I raise the money). But her not eating much makes me sick with worry and with tomorrow being Friday our vet is closed Saturday and Sunday.
