Hello and thanks for reaching out. It sounds like your feline friend has had a tough time recently with constipation! It’s not uncommon for a cat to feel a little off after a procedure like an enema. The lack of appetite could be due to various things, such as residual discomfort, stress from the vet visit, or mild dehydration.
First, ensure your cat has access to plenty of fresh water. Moisture-rich foods can also help, so consider offering canned cat food if he's not eating his usual kibble. A little bit of warm water added to his food can make it more enticing and easier for him to eat.
Keep an eye on your cat for any signs of ongoing discomfort or distress, such as vomiting, lethargy, or continued lack of appetite beyond 24-48 hours. These symptoms may suggest something more serious, like an intestinal blockage or another underlying health issue that needs prompt attention.
If your cat doesn’t bounce back quickly or if you notice any worrying signs, it would be best to have a video consultation with a vet. They can provide tailored advice and see if further investigation or treatment is necessary. Remember, you know your pet best, and getting a professional opinion can provide peace of mind.
