I recently put my newly rescued cat on prozac to help with aggressive behavior towards my other cats, over the past month that he has been on medication he has become very picky about the food I give him and just picks at it. I have tries numerous brands and variety of both wet and dry food to get him to eat but he would eat one day and not so much the next. Over the month I started to notice he was losing weight, which he could afford to lose, but then I went away on business and came back last weekend and noticed he was much thinner. I immediately called the vet and took him in for a check up (blood-work, urine, physical check up). The vet determined that there was nothing medically wrong with Charlie but of course very concerned with the extreme weight loss. Based on the results of the tests and timing the weight loss is a side effect of the medication. I did not even want to consider a lower dose and we both agreed to take him off the medication immediately. The problem now is that he is still just picking at food and I am worried. I know it's just been one day, but how long should I expect it to take for him to get back to his normal eating habits? Is there anything I can put in his food or special food I can buy that cats cannot resist? I just want to see him eat like he used to before this nightmare started. Thank you
