You've given your cat mirtazapine to help with her appetite, but it hasn't shown any effect after 24 hours. I understand your concern as she's still not eating.
- Mirtazapine usually stimulates appetite within a few hours.
- Lack of response could mean further issues with your cat's health.
- Calling a vet can help address the root problem promptly.
Typically, mirtazapine can take effect quickly, but every cat is different. If you don't see any improvement in your cat's eating behavior soon or if she shows other worrying symptoms, it's a good idea to consult with a veterinarian. They can provide guidance and adjust any treatments if necessary.
