    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    I’m sorry, I think I missed your comment before! I’m so sorry about your cat but happy that she seems to be doing better! I just read that feeding cats with pancreatitis can make them worse and that food should be withheld for a couple of days before reintroducing. Did they do that with your...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Thank you. It really is. I asked about this but the vet is set on the RC Renal Care Liquid. This is a new vet, and I was told this clinic is pretty married to Royal Canin products. And we did try Fortiflora early on to try to entice her. The vet today mentioned trying probiotics but I thought...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Thank you for this. It is so easy to get discouraged with this! Daisy doesn’t fight at all, she just seemed to be spitting all of it out! She’s done much better since we changed syringes but the last feeding session was a little rough. Since she is so small (normally 7 lbs but down to almost...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Thank you for all of this! I’m staying with my sister who has experience with this. She gave me a couple of different plungers to try and they were all so much better than what the vet gave me!!! So I don’t think it was a me OR Daisy problem, but more of a syringe problem! Daisy is still...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    I’m sorry, what do you mean by ”male them eat”? I thought only appetite stimulants could do that? Is any of this better than “real” food somehow? I’m confused on that part and what I should and shouldn’t feed right now. I was advised to not feed her regular food to avoid aversion, but to also...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Thank you for such an informative reply. Yes we have a stockpile of Hills AD and RC Recovery at the house. I have been using AD and syringing meds mixed with baby food or Tiki Cat stix treats (a lickable treat). I also have calorie gels that sound similar to what you’re talking about. Nutrical...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Also, has anyone fed Royal Canin Renal Support liquid? This is what the vet gave us today. There are no ingredients or calories listed, so I loooked it up, and Royal Canin’s website is incredibly vague. Unless I’m missing something, it looks like it basically amounts to milk (I assume cow -...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Yep, literally all of those. My cats only like baby food when they’re not sick, which is unhelpful, haha! But I spent all of last week and yesterday throwing anything and everything at her. Even fried chicken. She randomly ate a whole can of Fancy Feast Kitten Chicken, and has eaten a handful...

    Cat has hardly eaten in a week and I feel like I am failing to assist feed

    Hello, My cat 13 year old cat Daisy is sick and not eating. I keep trying to syringe feed, have read everything and watched every video. I know it’s normal for there to be a learning curve and to feel like you’re failing whether you actually are or not, but I need to get food in my cat NOW...
