Senior cat not eating
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2019 11:21 pm
Rocky is 15, about a year and a half ago he was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. He had lost a lot of weight, had all of the symptoms. It has been a struggle since then to get his meds regulated, he is not an easy cat to give medicine to. Finally we were putting it in baby food and he was eating it. This last month it was starting to work he was gaining weight his Fur looked good. Then this last week he started eating less and less and now won’t eat anything. I have resorted to putting pate cat food on his paws and he’s forced to eat. I noticed when he swallows sometimes
It is like he is gulping. He purrs, doesn’t throw up, drinking water and has energy. He is even crying and going to his food bowl like he is hungry. His vet wants to see him every three months and that time is almost due. But the stress on him and myself to be put in a cat carrier and take him to the vet is almost unbearable.He has lost a considerable amount of weight again I just don’t know what to do. I know the answer is to take him to the vet but I was wondering what you thought of a holistic means to treating the hyperthyroidism? If his Eating is not any better I will end up taking him to the vet.
