Hi :)
My cat was spayed last Saturday and she still has next to no appetite.  In the past week she's willingly eaten canned food once, despite it being available always, and willingly eaten one tube of puree when offered.   And though she happily eats dry food I've had to take it away because she vomits it up within minutes of eating it.  Aside from that, she doesn't touch anything I put out.

For the first few days she was throwing up after like...everything she ate, but we took her off her pills and it slowed down.  She's also not drinking much water :(. I've been taking her into the vet every day, and he gives her two shots (I have no clue what they are, I live in South Korea, we get by but I can't ask him any real in-depth questions.) I've resorted to bundling her up and making her eat tubes of Ciao Churu puree by prying open her jaw and squeezing some onto her tongue, or today, putting some pureed canned food into a ziplock bag and using it like a piping bag. She eats that, but I can only keep her put for a spoonful or two before she squirms away.
She's still energetic and she does seem to be hungry based on her response to the dry food, but I'm getting desperate.  I've tried a few different types of wet food including her old favourites, but she just sniffs at it then walks away :(. Do you think the injections are causing nausea?  Do you have any similar experiences?  I'm starting to get very concerned, she is not a large cat and just came off of pregnancy and nursing kittens so she doesn't have much weight to lose.  She's throwing up yellow bile at some points :(((

I'd appreciate any advice, shared experience, or magical secret cat crack cocaine.

What is the vet injecting her with? I'd find out what it is. sometimes medication can make a cat feel sick and not want to eat.

I'd let her eat the dry in the meantime so she has something to eat. a few kibbles at a time so she won't throw it all up again

Are the pills for a condition she already has?

Can you get someone you know to go with you to the vets and ask what is going on and what the injections are for? Or could you try another vet?

The injections may be antibiotics which could be upsetting her stomach.
