Hi,
My cat is three years old. About a week ago my cat stopped eating and starting looking very sick. He wasn't meowing, he wasn't acting like a cat basically. I took him to the vet and they took a blood test and found out he had FIV (feline aids) and we left him there for a couple of days. They put him on fluids and tried giving him food but he just wouldn't eat it. They said nothing is wrong with him outside of the FIV (which they said he can still live as long as a normal cat even with it) and they don't know why he isn't eating.
So, we've taken him back home. He's acting like a normal cat again, he's meowing and purring so we tried giving him food and water. He's drinking, but he still isn't eating. It's only been a week but I can already see him getting thinner and thinner. The vet told us to bring him back Friday if he still hasn't eaten.
Has anyone experienced this with one of their cats? What should I do?
