Cat refuses to eat. He also has a urine scald.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear that your cat is going through this. When a cat stops eating, it can be due to several reasons. Stress, changes in their environment, dental issues, or an underlying health problem like kidney disease can all contribute. Since your cat also has a urine scald, it might point to urinary tract issues, including infections or bladder stones, which can be painful and lead to a lack of appetite.



At home, you can try offering warm, wet food, which might be more tempting and easier to eat. Increasing their water intake is also important, so you might try adding water to their food or providing a pet water fountain to encourage drinking.



Monitor your cat for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and further refusal to eat, as these can indicate more serious issues needing veterinary care. Also, keep an eye on his litter box habits since changes there can be a clue to what's going on.



It's important to address these symptoms promptly. I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet so we can further assess your cat’s condition and guide you on the next best steps for treatment. Your kitty's health is our top priority!
