Very concerned about how finicky my Maine coon has become. She is over 13 yrs old and has always gobbled up her canned cat food at meal time and cleaned up any food the others might have left behind. She has always been a chub, but now turns her nose up at almost all canned food and barely grazes on dry. Alarmingly dropping from over 16 lbs to under 10.
A trip to the vet, blood work revealed no system failures, and the vet saw no evidence of oral problems. All they offered me was high calorie food, which I may try, but seriously doubt she will eat.
She drinks water, will eat treats and currently will eat table scraps (turkey, eggs, cheese...) and at meal time she is currently happy with tuna, so she isn't starving to death.. But it is so unlike her and not enough to get a gain on the weight.
I expected more help from the vet. I still feel something is wrong.
