Cat not eaten on own in 8 days, been to vet.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that your kitty is having a tough time. When a cat isn't eating for an extended period like eight days, it can be concerning and is good that you've already taken them to the vet. There could be several reasons your cat isn't interested in food, such as stress, dental pain, gastrointestinal issues, or even more serious health concerns like liver disease or pancreatitis.



In the meantime, there are a few things you can try at home to encourage eating. Offering small amounts of wet food, which is often more enticing due to its strong smell, might help. Sometimes gently warming the food can also make it more appealing. Additionally, creating a calm and quiet feeding environment can reduce any stress or anxiety your cat might feel.



Please watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or sudden weight loss. These could indicate a more serious underlying issue and may necessitate immediate attention.



If your feline friend still refuses to eat or shows any of the above symptoms, it's important to follow up with a healthcare professional. Booking a video consult with Dial A Vet can provide further guidance tailored to your pet’s specific needs. We're here to help!
