I didn't give Molly insulin this morning. She's not eating that well. I have tried different flavors of FF pate and nothing. Tried another brand nothing. Still eats her treats, I sprinkle that on her food and she's not interested. She'll eat chicken baked, her treats and hamburger. I did manage to give her probiotic this morning. She seems fine, kneading, purring scratching at her post. Not sure what to do? any suggestions.
 
Below is the list of suggestions to help with a cat not wanting to eat. I hope you can get Molly eating better. Sending prayers. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Do you have any parmesan cheese? If you maybe sprinkle a little of that on her food, she will perhaps eat? usually ondansetron is better for nausea than cerenia but it doesn't hurt to give her the cerenia....it can help.

Can you finger feed her....either see if she will lick food off your finger or will she let you dab some on the front of her tongue or on the roof of her mouth? Just be careful that it's only a small amount and that you don't get it down her throat.

Here's some info Jill often posts when a kitty won't eat:Here are some things you can do do entice your cat to eat:

-sometimes in order to get a cat to eat you even have to resort to dry it is more important that they eat. there are a couple low carb / grain free brands -- EVO and wellness core.

-making a buffet to give him choices
- heating food

sprinkle food with :
- forta flora -- a probiotic you can get at vets or online. is very smelly and cats love the taste of it.
- parm. cheese
- smashed crumbles of dry food
- Purebites Duck Liver -- crushed and put on as a topper.
- bonito tuna flakes
- halo chicken treats -- crumble into dust over food
- poor a little water from tuna in water over food ( I use low sodium/no sodium added as other kinds in water has veg. broth in it and I assume that means onions, which are toxic to cats-- check labels)
-powdered oregano. yep sounds weird . but some cats like it and it will entice them to eat.

other ideas of foods to offer your kitty to stim appy:
- trader joe tuna for cats
-baby food -- beechnut turkey and broth or chicken and broth. they have no onions or other additives. some babyfoods have onions . please read labels if you can't find beechnut.
- kentucky fried chicken
- deli turkey /chicken
- plain cooked ( boiled or baked ) chicken breast
-canned chicken for people (watch the label that their are no onions)
- chicken broth -- low sodium

Thanks Carla,
Not sure why she won't eat her food. I gave her cooked ham last night ( deli) she gobbled that up. She goes out to the kitchen to eat, smells her food and walks away.

If she likes plain chicken you can make home made food for her using a diet completing supplement such as ez complete or balance it. You can make it very low carb this way. I did this for Simon and he loved it- until he got bored. For him variety was key and I had to keep switching up his food every few days. Good luck to you!
