Question
Hi there, I have a 15yr old cat who over the past few days has gone off her food and is very lethargic and not wanting to be around people (which is not like her). She has been to the vets who cannot find anything wrong (blood tests show slight raise in WBC) she is on antibiotics and has a night in the vets on a drip. She has 1 or 2 bits of food if hand fed but then wont eat any more (it's as if she has a sore throat). She has passed urine but not had her bowels open for a few days. I'm at my wits end. Any advice would be helpful Thanks

Answer
Hi Dawn,

Gosh, since she has been to the Vet, I really don't know what to tell you.  You may need to force feed her if she doesn't get any better.  Ask your Vet about that.  Don't be shy in calling your Vet for advice.  They will be able to help you more than I can since they have seen her and are running the tests.  I really have no idea.  I'm sorry, wish I was more help.

God Bless,
Becky
