My cat has lost his appetite, all bloodwork and tests came back normal (results in post), follow-up vet in week, just wanting to know about what some of this bloodwork means.

Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. When a cat loses their appetite and all their tests come back normal, it can be both a relief and a mystery. It’s great news that there aren't any obvious issues, but it leaves us asking, "What next?"



A few potential causes could be at play. Stress or environmental changes like new furniture, a house move, or even a new pet can affect a cat's eating habits. Sometimes dental issues, which might not show up in bloodwork, could make eating uncomfortable. Food preferences can also shift suddenly; something as simple as a different flavor of the same brand might appeal more to your kitty.



For at-home care, try offering a variety of foods with different textures and flavors. Warming wet food slightly can release aromas that entice cats. Always ensure fresh water is available, and keep their eating environment calm and quiet.



Watch for any additional symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or noticeable weight loss. These might signal a more serious underlying problem that requires prompt attention.



Since you're understandably keen to get to the bottom of this, scheduling a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet could provide a more personalized insight and help address any further concerns before your follow-up appointment.
