Wow good to know! That's also what I'm thinking about. The vet said it might take 2 weeks for him to fully recover and I think I can give him whatever he likes during the two weeks. We will have the vet check to make sure he is all good. After that I think I need to work on his "picky" eating...

Hi stephanietx- you are absolutely right. Although the vet did not give a formal diagnosis about separation anxiety, I still think he has it - now after extraction, he wants me to hold the food bowl for him and loves eating from my hand, but not directly from the bowl on the ground... Now I'm...

I'm so sorry that you and your kitty need to go through that. Have you seen the IBD link @Maurey posted here? We did dental extraction and his appetite came back - although he doesn't know well how to eat without those two teeth. So we don't think it's IBD, but possibly I will consider feeding...

Thanks for the reply! Finally it turned out to be his dental problem - cavities caused dental pain so he can't bite. Now I'm offering some wet food after tooth extraction, and he is learning how to eat without two canine teeth. I'll definitely try Blue Buffalo and Soulistics and most...

Update 10/22 Hi all. Long story short, we finally figured out what's going on: the upper canine teeth cavity. I noticed one day that he tried to bite one of favorite bite but then left. He had a broken canine tooth when I got him, and the vet said it might be a problem in the future and...

Have you ever checked dental? My cat dropped dry food/treats too and it turned out to be fraction tooth.

Update 10.16 First I wanna say thank you all for the resources, advice, and support as a community that loves cats. When I wrote the post I was super anxious and stressed, feeling guilty that I didn't provide care to my babe. Thank you for also helping me handle my own stress and anxiety, and...

Update 10.16 Yes she said so. i have no idea either and i can't even read human x-rays lol.

Finally read his x-rays! Attached all his results here.

Thanks! I did not find a mobile Vet available but I called a nearby vet college with all equipment and we decided that if his condition continues, we will have an official consultation with the vet there. Hope he will be better sooooon

Thanks we will definitely try it!

No not yet. Usually, he will do the urinalysis with a dental cleaning. Without anesthesia, i guess he will be too aggressive to perform that...

Thanks for the reply! Actually, our dental cleaning was scheduled last week, but because of his problem, we postponed it. The vet checked his tooth very quickly, and although he needs a dental cleaning because of mild tartar, it's unlikely he is too painful to eat. But I'll definitely get him a...

I agree and that's the primary reason I'm hesitant to bring him to the vet again and again... It's heartbreaking to think about his behaviors... He doesn't avoid me, and he is much more clingy. He insists on sleeping with me at night, and if he can find a position that I can pet him or hug him...

Thanks! So I think we need to do the ultrasound when his emotion is more stable. I tried to do some homemade cat food last year (StackPath), not surprisingly, Mr. Picky totally refused it so I just gave him wet food he loves (not that high-quality, e.g., Fancy Feast, Pro plan, and Friskies, with...

Thanks! The link is helpful here is his blood test. I'm still trying to figure out how to read the DVD lol

I have a 3-year-old domestic short hair male cat (neutered). He usually weighs 11lb but he lost 0.9 lb in the past two weeks because he did not eat much. Personal history: I got him in July 2020 when his previous owner moved out of state and didn't want to keep him so I don't know too much about...

Thanks! i got some cat grass once but he never stopped eating those, and the grass died in one week... possibly I should try again and satisfy his desire before he goes out!

I have a 3y DSH cat (M, neutered), very energetic. He is a picky one and he doesn't like most of the cat toys, except for the laser point. However, he loves going outside and exploring, so I walk him on a leash every night (30min-1h) in our neighborhood. (People love that and usually pet him -...
