Hello, There is an appetite enhancer you can buy from the vet in a pill form.Usually you give about 1/4 of the tablet or 1/2 and most cats will eat after this. This may be what you need to get your kitty over the hump and back to eating normally.
I owuld also try KMR kitten milk replacement in the can(liquid form)not the dry one. This is packed full of nutrition specifically desgined for kttens, lactating cats and elderly sick cats.Because the liquid spoils within 72 hours of being opened and refrigerated pour the milk into ice cube trays & freeze, then take a cube out & put it in the microwave as required. Also please keep in mind that some antibiotics that are given to pets do cause anorexia as they cause gastrointestinal problems.
I wish you the best of luck!
