My cat started it July 22nd, 2.5 MG twice daily.
He has a recent history of on/off illness. Previous to the methamizole he didn't want to eat much in late June, early July but seemed to improve.
In between then and now he's been on other meds and had a time where he felt much better.
Starting on Aug 21 he isn't eating again and seems to have an infection with diarrhea and vomiting. At the time he was only taking the methimazole. He's on an antibiotic he started the 22nd.
He's seeing his vet tomorrow to check thyroid levels and follow up on his current issues, and they're aware he isn't eating, but I'm just very worried. He had no food on the 21st, only had 1 teaspoon of tuna and 2 teaspoons of high calorie gel on the 22nd, 1.5 teaspoons of tuna and a 1/4 tube of churu on the 23rd,and nothing so far today. He almost always refuses food.
This is a really complicated situation so the main thing I'm asking here is: is it *possible* that methamizole would cause lack of appetite after one month of taking it? Or would it cause that to happen more quickly? I've heard it can have this effect, and I want to be informed when I take him in tomorrow. Thanks all.
