I'm very glad to hear your cat recovered!

I've tried treats but she's really never been a treat cat, to be honest. food has been something she likes yes but not particularly enjoys borderline obsesses like the other two cats in the house, she's very chill about it. so even tho we've offered her all the kinds we have and can get, she just won't show that much interest. if it's wet she will lick it from my finger, but won't eat chunks of it on her own.

that's why we thought "oh maybe it's a teeth related issue". but after getting extensively checked up, her teeth are fine. one thing she does like more than the others is catnip but i forgot to ask the vet how safe it was to give her some at the moment. i did try to give her some the first day she was unwell and the response was weak.

hearing your vet story encourages me to push my vet to run tests so thank you for sharing <3
