Hello, I usually read posts here on TheCatSite anonymously, but finally made an account in hopes of getting advice on a recent issue in my household. I have a 16 year old cat (Terry) that is starting to slow down. He is eating, but not much and I'm worried about the state of his health going forward. I would love to take him to the vet, but I am currently unemployed and already $1000 in the hole for taking another cat to the vet a few months back. Terry has generally been healthy for the majority of his life, even faced with being on a poor diet for most of it (he was my mother's cat first). As far as food goes, all the cats eat Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost. I have been feeding Terry a variety of wet food in hopes to get him to eat more as I thought it might have been his teeth. He stopped eating all cat food at one point and I was feeding him baked chicken, but I have been getting him to eat more cat food again recently.
I was looking up liquid cat vitamins in hopes of helping him improve a bit, but I'm not sure which vitamins are actually safe. I was considering Spectrin until I read a review saying it had two toxic ingredients (I don't know which ingredients these art though). Terry won't eat any kind of vitamin that smells strong, and he hates the vitamin creams/gels. He will absolutely not eat anything that is mixed into food, so liquid seems the most reasonable as I can just administer it directly.
TL;DR: Does anyone have any info on safe vitamins that come in liquid form for senior cats?
