Daphne is an outdoor cat. She's part of a TNR program. I noticed she'd lost some weight and was not eating as much as usual.
So we took her into the vet. Vet couldn't find anything wrong with her. No diahhrhea, nothing except a raised temperature which is sometimes caused by the visit to the vet itself.
He gave her a shot and a course of baytril just to be sure.
BUT SHE WON'T EAT!!!!!
I can handle everything except when a cat stops eating. To me its a sure sign something is wrong.
She's been in doors for two nights now. She was initially in the guest bath room downstairs but i felt that perhaps because the litter and the food were so close together she was not keen to eat.
So i moved her to my study. She has a view of the garden outside, and the litter is about 6m away from the food and also not near the door where she can smell my other cats.
It is an old litter tray, one that was being used by my cats recently. I scrubbed it as clean as possible last night. Gave her fresh litter. AND about a litre of standard garden sand just so it smells like what she is used to.
She ate a bit the first day. If i gave her some minced quail, or some felidae or whiskas (we have a whole variety of cat foods) she would eat a few mouthfuls and then stop.
Today i am going to try with some boiled chicken and some baby food.
What could it be?
Stress from being inside?
I'm so worried that she won't get any better. I just have so so so so much on my hands right now i'll probably have a nervous breakdown if she doesn't recover from this.
I have some classical music on to calm her. She meowing and meowing although she will stop and sit on my lap and purr like it's going out of fashion if i pick her up and hold her.
Any helpful suggestions?????????????
