So about two weeks ago I took my cat to the vet. She had been acting strange by hiding more than usual (she loves to hide a lot for whatever reason) and I noticed she had also lost weight and had diarrhea.
The vet examined her, gave her medicine for the diarrhea, a vitamin b shot, and some food for gastro intestinal problems. Along with some digestive powders to help her. He determined she must have eaten something that she wasn't supposed to. He examined her poop as well and found nothing.
My problem is that she doesn't want the food he prescribed. She has taken a few bites but not enough to make her gain enough weight. She gets up and drinks water but she is uninterested in food. She doesn't want her dry food, not even kitten food, nor fancy feast. I went back and the vet gave me something that would stimulate her appetite but she is still uninterested in food. And now that I think about it, I haven't seen her poop but if she isn't eating, how would she poop anyway?
I haven't tried anything else and I'm unsure if I should force feed her at this point. I'm just scared she's gonna starve herself to death. I have tried microwaving her food as well to entice her but nothing. What else would you guys do?
Thanks.
