It’s understandable to be worried about your cat’s change in appetite and behavior. There could be several reasons for this, and monitoring her symptoms is important.
- Monitor for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or unusual lethargy.
- Check if she's drinking water and staying hydrated.
- Inspect any recent changes in her environment or routine.
Cats can lose interest in food for various reasons, including stress, dental issues, or an underlying health problem. While food recalls can heighten concerns, issues like stress or infection are often more common culprits. It's essential to observe for any additional symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, which can help a vet assess the situation more clearly.
