Well Stan's back on his not eating spree. He'll eat like 2 little bites of food, then he paws around it and walks away from it. He still walks around the apartment, drinks fine and can jump up on the bed, but he hasn't eaten more than like 2 bites of food 3-4 times a day for probably 3-4 days now.
We did have an appetite stimulant that we gave him on Friday, it started with an M but it really didn't do much.
I've tried force feeding him, that was a challenge and I'm pretty sure that I got more of it on me and him than actually in his mouth.
Is there anything that most cats will absolutely not refuse? We're getting desperate now, he doesn't seem less energetic or anything, but I can't imagine how much longer he'll last just eating tiny bits of food a day. We just want to get something into his stomach now for a few days and then work on getting him on a better diet once he's feeling a bit better.
His FIP doesn't seem to be bothering him too much right now, neither do his teeth. We've tried watering down his food and heating it up, that worked for a little while but then he stopped with that. We've given him all the different typer of Friskies they have at the store, a couple of different kinds of Fancy Feast, and another couple of brands that I can't remember.
We're on the last can of cat food right now so I'm going to go in the morning and get some more food, any ideas? I'm going to see if they have any nutrical so he's getting something, but I don't even know if it's available in Canada.
We are not in a position to take him to the vet again right now as one of our dogs has to go in for surgery on Monday, I can talk to the vet about Stan then and see if I can pick up some Hill's AD as I've heard that's good for sick cats. When we were there with Sadie (the woofer) last Friday she gave us the apetite stimulant and said she'd go over his file again so see if there's anything that she can think of that might help him. If I can't find Nutrical here then I'm going to ask her on Monday if they have anything like that there that I can give him, but until then, we need to get something into his stomach.
I'm going to open up a can of sardines and see if he'll eat any of them, if he won't touch them the dogs love them so they'll get a treat.
