Gracie, my 13 yr old thyroid kitty :heart3: has quit eating and need vibes.... I noticed when I came back from my trip she was leaving some food behind.... NOT like her.... Then I started watching her closely - yesterday she ate kitten canned food, then today she stopped completely.
I am force-feeding her..... It is interesting :lol3: She hisses and growls, kinda scary at times, but I am managing to get 1 1/2 oz feedings at time in her, and have all my fingers left behind :lol3: Thank GOD for my cat bag She is a feisty little thing that one! She can not be held up, so I scruff her, and in the bag she goes! She is not getting stressed out.... She is fine afterwards....
I have no clue what is going on - if it is hairballs (she does have problems). If the thyroid meds need to be adjusted? Or cringe..... kidneys? Her behavior is completely normal, and she is happy, talkative and drinking normally - just her appetite is off, which is giving me hope. She will eat treats...... Hopefully nothing serious.... She is just such a pigglet, this is definitely out of the ordinary
She did throw up Friday, but only once - and it was food colored, so I did not think much about it.... To me, Friday, there was nothing wrong with her.... at least as far as I knew (I was out of town 'til then).
I have her on appetite stimulants already.... and of course will keep force-feeding until she starts eating again.
I will take her to her vet tomorrow if she doesn't get better. If she does get better, I will take her to Bugsy's vet Friday when I get paid. They don't have her history there, but Bugsy's vet is amazing..... and is a full on hospital if she needs something.... I might start her there.
Can you guys spare some vibes for my little old lady? :heart3:
