My 10 year old girl has been chronicled here for the better part of a year regarding her issues around feeding. She ended up getting a convenia shot Thursday after peeing on my bed. Six weeks prior she had a bad bacteria UTI and got the same shot and had no reaction. The next day my girl has LESS of an appetite than usual. She's just showing zero interest in food. I open a new bag, no reaction. I'm doing all the tricks and just nothing. Hours go by and just no interest. Called the vet and the vet put in an RX for Mirataz that I picked up this morning.
Holy moley. The cat I've owned for a decade is FINALLY back. She is screaming at me for food and chowing down. I don't need to coax her. She's just going to town on her own and begging for more food and yelling at me for food. That's my girl, that's the cat before everything went to shit in Fall 2021. By 3:00 PM today she had eaten more than she had the past 4 days and more than she usually ate on a "high calorie day." I might have to start refusing to feed her if this keeps up!!!!
She only got 1/4 of an inch. I don't know what tomorrow will bring or if this will last but holy moley it was nice to see my cat again. I'm just so elated I had to share. Obviously have to give this a few days and follow up with the vet to see if this should be a long term thing and if so is this the right dosage. But at least for today it was just so wonderful to see my cat again.
I don't know why we hadn't tried this before. I think some of it was even thought I was complaining about her eating the previous vet would just look at the scale and go with that and I guess she didn't listen to me when I said I was spending 3-4 hours a day feeding her and that was why she hadn't dropped weight. Obviously I'm glad we've ruled everything medical out but man I wish we did this a year ago. At my age and with some of my conditions I don't have many good mobile years left!

I hope she makes up for lost time and glad you have your girl back again.
