Going to have to assist feed him again

he *really* hates that. I have to scruff him and force the food in his mouth

I've been playing with him

and his spirits are good

but why won't he eat again?? Could it be food aversion ??

There is no yellowing of the gums and no sores in his mouth.

Time for another vet visit.

That is too bad. He ate and then he didn't after throwing up...sounds like food aversion but still something is wrong. If they find nothing maybe they can put him on an appetite stimulator to get his appetite back.

Yes he is on an appetite stimulator, and I'm starting to worry that it's food aversion

I just remembered this... for a couple of weeks after we moved, my parent's cat Orion (who was very close to us) wouldn't eat - hardly at all. Believe it or not the vet gave him a vitamin shot(?) and he's been eating like a madman ever since!

Leads me to wonder, maybe it's a vitamin deficiency?
