Cat won't eat after fever.

Hello there,



I'm sorry to hear that your cat isn't feeling well! When a cat won't eat after having a fever, it's usually an indication that something might still be bothering them. Fever often means their body was fighting off an infection or inflammation, and not eating could be a sign they're still under the weather. There could be several causes, like a lingering virus, a bacterial infection, or even something non-infectious like pain from an injury or stress.



At home, try offering your cat some enticing foods like a small amount of warm, canned food or unsalted chicken broth. A little warmth and moisture can make meals more appealing. Keep an eye on their hydration by ensuring they're drinking enough water, too. You might try using a pet water fountain if they seem uninterested.



Watch for signs that things might be more serious, such as continued lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or signs of pain. These symptoms mean it's important to seek veterinary advice sooner rather than later.



Ultimately, if your cat's appetite doesn't return or they show any signs of worsening, it's best to connect with a vet. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can guide you through what steps to take next and help ensure your cat gets back to feeling their best!
