[quote=Anonymous]Cat stopped eating Sunday or Monday. Threw up bile Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. 
Vet on Wednesday. Gave her short acting steroid, IV fluids, pain meds, anti nausea, and appetite stimulant.

Still hasn’t eaten (Thursday morning). This happened a few months ago, and she ended up with a feeding tube for a few weeks.

This morning, I put out a spaced out smorgasbord of her favorite foods. She’ll approach and smell them, but no eating. I just put out the treats we only give her after we clip her nails. She smelled these immediately, pushed one around with her paw, mouthed a few of them, and I think ate a tiny crumb. Then she walked two feet away from them and sat and looked at me. Normally, she would gobble them all up.

The last round, when she got her feeding tube, bloodwork and an ultrasound gave us no answers. Vet is currently thinking IBD.

We need her to eat, because cats’ livers can develop big problems if they go too long without food.

Any tips/tricks/ideas? We have another cat, who tends to get aggressive with her, and we are keeping them separated.[/quote]
