My 11 year old cat stopped eating about two weeks ago, he would still meow for food and jump up to his bowl but then just sniff it and walk away. We took him to the vet and he tested positive for FIV. He was put on a drip for two days and he started eating a little bit again, they gave him some pills and I got a high calorie gel that he has to get twice a day. He looks a lot better, more alert and playful etc but he's still not eating much, he just licks the gravy off of his food but wont eat anything substantial. Ive been struggling to get him to drink water as well. He is a very fussy cat when it comes to food so its even worse when he's not feeling well. I gave him his favorite food and he purred and meowed and went to his bowl to eat but then just sniffs it and walks away, its like he wants to eat but then just doesn't/cant. He has to go back to the vet for a check up tomorrow, just wondering if anyone has any experience with this or any advice to get him to eat/drink something?
