Hi! I have a foster that was being treated for diarrhea with Panacur and Metronidazole. He was having upper respiratory problems that really became obvious a week ago. So he was prescribed Doxycycline also. He is finished with the Panacur and Metronidazole, but is still on the Doxycycline until Saturday. He went from picking at his food to almost not eating at all tonight. I had to really encourage him.
I'm taking him back tomorrow to the shelter for another checkup due to lack of appetite. I was wondering if anyone's cat has had appetite problems after using these drugs. How long did it take for them to regain their desire for food? How long do the affects of these drugs typically last? I'm wondering what to expect later as he may be kept overnight and returned to me after he's well enough for fostering again. Poor little thing was so stressed and sick when I picked him up last week
Thanks for any shared experience!
