Cat wont eat, my fault

luvmykitty Mar 26, 2005 01:39 AM

My kitty is 6-7 months old. Up until recently she has been very healthy. The other day I went to the store to buy her food, but they were out of her usual brand. Not knowing any better, I went ahead and bought a different brand. She didn't want any part of it. The very next day I bought her usual, she came took a couple of bites and left that alone too. She hasn't touched it since. She won't even eat any of the treats that she usually loves. She still wanders by her food dish every once in a while but just takes a sniff and carries on. She is very playful and affectionate and her behaviour doesn't seem to have changed. It's been two days now, how concerned do I need to be at this point? What action should I take and when?

Are you sure she isn't eating anything? If she isn't you really need to call your vet as soon as possible.

Just today she atarted eating a little bit of wet food, but not until I warm it up slightly. Should I stick with this, is there a particular brand of food (wet or dry) that might entice her more?

I would call the vet tomorrow. They can just do a check to make sure everything is ok with her. If she still isn't eating much the vet's office can give you an appetite stimulant.

Warming up the food a bit is an excellent way to get her to eat, but a vet really needs to get to the bottom of her sudden lack of appetite. It may have been the other food, but it might be something else and it has just happened at a coincidental time.
