Hello,
I took Joy to the vet and he prescriped Pepcid AC. She's been on it for 24 hours now and her appetite has gone from eating less to eating nothing and hiding. Her urinalysis and blood panel is normal. Doc will now recommend an ultrasound. Just going to the vet is 100 times more stressful for her. Stress may cause it? We have two other cats and two dogs. All was well until I had to switch her off dry food last Feb and after trying a ton of good healthly food finally found one they all at, but the last month she's been eating less and lost a pound or two and now weighs either 9.2 (my scale) or 9.10 vets scale. I have been hand feeding her when I notice she doesn't eat much. I do think she is on the lighter side myself. When she ate dry food she was huge, prob close to 11 pounds.
I just don't know what to do and am thinking of stopping the pepcid to see if she goes back to at least eating a little.
So that's the background, my question is I take liquid vit b12 myself. I wonder instead of a shot I could just put some in her food? I wonder how much to give??? Anyone know? And would it be safe?
Thank you!
