My almost thirteen year old cat has developed erratic eating habits after 12 years of being a very enthusiastic eater of the same brand of food (different flavors). Now I never know from meal to meal what he will eat. I have tried just about everything at the pet store. Oliver had a very difficult winter. He had to have a tooth extracted and then he quit eating. After an x-ray and subsequent ultrasound, it was discovered he needed his spleen removed. He continued to have a poor appetite and wouldn't eat his original food at all. Now he will eat but there is absolutely no consistency or pattern. He has had four blood tests since January and has been on appetite stimulants five times. He is taking an anti anxiety medicine now but not sure it is doing anything. My vet says his problem isn't physical as he has checked out everything inside and out. I don't know what to do. I have become very anxious and am hesitant to ever leave him, as I don't know what he will eat. Any suggestions?
