Hi,

I'm sorry your cat still isn't eating. I still stand behind my previous post and urge you to reconsider having a feeding tube placed. Perhaps your vet will arrange a payment plan. Either that, or start syringe feeding him immediately. Believe me, a feeding tube is much easier.

A sick cat needs a lot more than "a bit of food now and then" to recover. You will know he is improving if you see him eating well and gaining weight. It's possible that the antibiotics are upsetting your cat's stomach and causing him to not want to eat. For this reason, injectable meds are better for anorexic cats. If oral meds are given to a cat that isn't eating, they really should be given with a force-feeding of some kind.

I am very worried about your baby and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Regards,
PHKitkat
