Hi. Please bear with me! This is my first post. Oliver just turned 12. He’s got a few health issues - fhv (herpes), allergies and constipation (on meds) but all manageable.
But for the last 3 years he’s always have days where he refused to eat. Each time I’ll bring him to the vet, which they either do a full exam and blood test or at least a full checkup. And every time they could never find anything wrong with him. Send him back home with anti inflammatory and nausea injection. And he starts eating. The last time it happened was 3 months ago. Yesterday he ate less and today he refused food completely. He even ran away from his food when I tried to coax him to eat. He’s sleeping more but it’s winter over here. I have Mirtazapine on hand but I don’t want to give it to him unless I really need to.
I am at my wits end! Anyone have or had the same problem with their cats? Or ideas what it may be? I am thinking Ibd but he doesn’t vomit or have diarrhoea. Thanks!
