took her this morning , she stopped eating for 2 days, the vet did blood work on her and now she is on pills for her liver , she has Denamarin in morning to take and about 4 other types of meds to take an hour later
I will be so happy one day to get her back to good health , I'am working on that , as far as the new kitty he is great but a bundle of energy , he isn't around Montana so she has not met him yet , maybe in a few weeks

What a shame that Montana had to go back to the vet.  Do you have an idea of why she stopped eating?  And is she eating now?  It is so scary when they do that.  At least the new kitty is doing well.   Anyway, it must be a complete pain having to give her so much medication - I hope she isn't one of those cats who would rather take out your eye than cooperate!  Sending good vibes for her recovery.

today is sunday and I got her to eat a half of a can of some tuna that was on friday and she hasn't touched any food or water since then , I have been giving her some water in a syringe  as much as I can get down her ,I have tried all kinds of food to get her to eat and nothing works  , I guess it's back to the vet if she doesn't eat anything  by thursday   I don't know what else to do with her , she is taking theese pills   Denamarin  Amoxi   Cyroheptadine  and Famotidine    the Cyroheptadine is suppose to make her hungry and get her back to eating and  it doesn't seem to  be working yet    , I hate seeing like this and I know she has to be hungry by now , she meows like she is starving by why won't she eat?  I give her a fresh bowl of dry food every day and fresh water  , the vet said if things don't improve and she doesn't start eating soon I will have to tube feed her every day  ,I was hoping we didn't get to that point

hopeing and preying she improves soon and ty for  the good vibes

If she's not eaten since Friday, she really needs to go to the vet tomorrow, not Thursday.  Cats who don't eat come down rapidly with fatty liver disease which can be fatal lf left untreated. Thursday is definitely too long to wait.  It's great that you're giving her water with the syringe but you should also be giving her food, the same way.  Add some water to the canned food and blend it into a slurry that will go through the syringe.  For an extra treat, buy some chicken or turkey baby food without garlic or onions and try syringe feeding her with that.  Most cats find it hard to resist.

If you absolutely can't get her to the vet by Thursday, you will need to syringe feed her several times a day until that point.

I hope Montana feels better soon, poor darling.
