M/15 stage 3 kidney disease cat won't eat even w/Miritaz

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your cat isn't eating, especially with a condition as delicate as stage 3 kidney disease. It's understandable to be concerned when your feline friend turns down food. Reduced appetite can be common in cats with kidney disease due to nausea or even the general feeling of being unwell.

Mirtazapine (often branded as Miritaz) typically helps with appetite, so if it’s not working, there might be something deeper going on. It could be related to the progression of the kidney disease, but it's also possible that your cat is dealing with other issues like an upset stomach, dental problems, or even stress.

At home, offering smaller, more frequent meals can sometimes help, and trying different textures or temperatures of food might entice him to eat. Sometimes, warming food slightly enhances its smell and can stimulate appetite. Ensure he has access to fresh water at all times and monitor him closely.

Watch for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or rapid weight loss, as these could indicate a more serious issue requiring immediate attention.

I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals as soon as possible. They can guide you through this and help get your kitty back on track.
