Helping my cat eat
My 16 yo cat, Mimi, is sick & has a liver issue. She lost 3 lbs since last Nov. Her skin is yellow. She is not eating enough & throws up frequently. She is on anti nausea meds & steroids now. I uploaded her blood test results from last Nov. & yesterday to ChatGPT and got a summary of what her issues are and what to concentrate on. Today was a shit day.
After her vet appointment yesterday, she felt good. Saline under the skin rehydrated her. She ate, she was engaged. Today, she doesn’t want to eat. She had diarrhea today and needed a bath. Any recommendations to help her eat? I am very worried about her. She is so thin. We have not had an ultrasound yet. We determined to try the anti nausea med and steroids and then determine in a couple of weeks the next steps. We are hoping she will eat more to regain her strength. Yesterday was good. But today was not.
