My cat is nauseated

[candie]

Now my cat is rarely eating now. I'm worried I don't want her to get disease where she needs a feeding tube.
She is on antibiotics and I don't know what to do.

What should I ask the vet? How do I help her?

Feeding tubes may sound and look scary but they can save a cat's life. Here's info: Feeding Tubes For Cats

Cerenia is typically used for nausea in cats. Ask the vet about that.

A high calorie prescription canned food such as Hills A/D may be fed until the cat is eating on her own again. Yes, Hills isn't great but the food is pretty appetizing to cats.

Until you can get to the vet, you can syringe feed her. Get a pate style cat food, no chunks or shreds, just the paste, and dilute it with water until it forms a fairly loose slurry. Draw it up into a large (5cc or bigger, 10 is best) syringe, without a needle, of course. Insert the tip gently between her cheek and gum, and slowly inject a little bit at a time into her mouth, giving her time to swallow between "bites." If you do not have, and cannot get, a syringe, you can also use a baby's medicine dropper, which you can buy cheaply just about anywhere.

You can return the unopened food to the store for a refund. Check the store refund policy.

If you don't feel that your vet is throwing out band aid treatments for symptoms without getting to the bottom of why your cat is having these issues, you can seek out another vet for an opinion.

The A/D food is extremely popular with many cats. If it's popular with yours, save it for the next time she stops eating or for disguising supplements or medicine without polluting her regular food. If your cat doesn't like the A/D, you can ask the vet office if they'll take back the cans for credit or refund. Or maybe the vet techs in the office know someone who would be willing to buy the unopened cans off you.

I'll probably keep the ad food just incase she gets sick of her food. She's just finicky
