my 12 year old diabetic kitty still isn't eating. I had given her the enzyme supplement the vet recommended. for 2 days. less than 1/2 the dose. she got sick on the second day and was vomiting and wouldn't eat. last night I force fed her some water which helped a bit. today is day 3. she is drinking some but still not eating so I force fed her a little cat food mixed with water. she's keeping it down ok. still has diarrhea which is mostly water because that's all that's in her. she still has no interest in food. The enzymes messed her up bad. She has never gone 3 days without eating before and always shows interest in food. Not even kitty treats can get her interested. worried sick

Please call your vet. It is very dangerous for a cat to go that long without eating. She runs the risk of hepatic lipidosis. If she was my cat I would take her to an emergency clinic.

Could be keytones or pancratitis. Id get her checked. She may need fluid support at this point as well.
 
I'm leaning toward pancreatitis. Have been using a medicine syringe to keep her hydrated and now mixing fancy feast into the water and feeding her that. she's not happy with it but she's not getting dehydrated.
 
It's worrisome that you have lowered the insulin dose when she is sick. If you can get a ketone test from the pharmacy tonight and test, that would be best, or take her to the animal ER. Decreased insulin + illness can lead to severe DKA in hours. Poor appetite and vomiting is often a symptom.
 
Said her bg was low even though she was 149 because there was no glucose in her urine? I don't understand that.said to skip morning shot in addition to the one she missed. Also inflammation in her stomach from her ibs. Gave subq fluid and I have to repate for 2 days. Wants her to take prilosec and gave appetite stimulant.
