Timothy weighed 23.4lbs when we adopted him roughly 3 years ago. He's now, last weighed, around 14.7lbs. We've been working on getting him to lose weight again as he has terrible elbow arthritis. He's on meds for it, and fish oil. We've ordered some joint supplements which should be coming soon (one hopes).
This morning he wasn't in the kitchen yelling for his food (that's a first, almost) and wasn't interested in kibble. My husband put down some wet food which he ate a bit of then left.
He's had poor appetite due to stress before (when one of our cats died, he loved Lear). But nobody's died, nothing's changed.
We are not going to freak out about it right now...but:
-what could cause this? I'm wondering about teeth
-when do we take him to a vet? Tomorrow is Sunday, do we wait for our vet to reopen on Monday or take him to an e-vet?
