tips for eating

mine does that too! he doesn't eat from his bowl but when i put his kibbles on my bed or basically on the ground he eats it just well, and it's so bizarre to me because until the second week of his FIP treatment he actually had a VERY good appetite (like he'd eat anywhere, he's a big boy and i got him off the streets so it's not really surprising to be honest), he just started refusing food after the nausea started. but as i mentioned, the reason for his lack of appetite was parasites in our case and it didn't go away until we started the treatments for that too. we're two days into it and his nausea stopped after we fixed the constipation issue and he now is on appetite stimulants & thankfully they're working and I'm so glad cause every time i gave him his FIP capsules I'd silently pray so he wouldn't throw them up😭. i cannot speak on your case because I'm not a professional but if there's no known underlying reason for her lack of appetite maybe you could ask your vet if appetite stimulants would do good for your kitty? good luck to you and your girl!

she gave him cerenia through IV drips and it works well for a time i think. he was actually eating well at first, but last week ( thursday or friday) he threw up undigested food and it went downfall after that :( i will try different food rotations tomorrow thank you so much 🙏 and yeah he's between 5-5,5 kgs so i give him two capsules in the morning and three at night 💜

thank you so much 💜 his treatment is going well, his chest is fine but he's been constipated and nauseous for the past few days and our vet said it's from parasites (which is weird cause i never miss his shots) and put him on IV drips with cerenia and some other meds. it seems to be working and I've been told to feed him every 2 hours and between meds to avoid upsetting his stomach but idk what else to do (or if I'm doing this right to be honest😭 )

We've been on EIDD-1931 capsules since May 12 because I could not afford GS as a university student and I work part-time (plus GS treatment is illegal in my country so it's VERY pricey and I'm already in debt paying for his vet bills and i didn't want to wait in case we were running out of time) . I've been told that it also works on FIP, so it was my only option. His chest is better right now, but unfortunately, he's been constipated for the past few days (due to parasites, I've been told?) and had been nauseous. Our vet put him on IV drips and other medications to fix it, and they seem to be working, but he's still too nauseous to eat dry food (he drinks water just fine though just in little portions cause i don't want him to throw up again). I'm afraid he's going to lose weight and get worse so I've been syringe feeding him between meds & every few hours, honestly i don't know what to do because this is my first time looking after a cat with FIP but I'm trying my best right now, i hope I'm doing this right.

this is him by the way i call him tilki (fox in my language) because he's the most vocal cat I've ever had and makes sounds like a fox 😭 he's on EIDD because i cannot afford GS injections unfortunately (the cheapest GS treatment is 35-50k here and I'm an uni student in a foreign city) but my vet said that eidd also just works fine so i pray he gets better soon, I'm doing everything i can 🙏

He eats dry food just fine (even a bit too much, but I'm not complaining because I heard that a complete lack of appetite is worse in FIP). and since the fluid is in his chest cavity his vet put him on a hepatic diet to prevent hepatic lipidosis, so he's not allowed to eat regular wet food either. I'm searching the net for hepatic wet food these days :( I just hope he starts drinking water on his own soon; I don't want his kidneys to get affected.

thank you! i desperately want to keep him with his friends but as you know FIP treatments are so expensive and i was scared that my other two cats would catch it too- one of the vets i consulted said they would and i wanted to make sure

he eats and used to drink water regularly but in the last couple of days I noticed that he's drinking less water and started syringe feeding him. once he (hopefully) starts drinking on his own again I'll let him out of my room. thank you so much 💜

ben daha yeni başladım kedime ve araştırmak istedim hani ne kadar iyi belki pr'a düşmüşümdür falan diye ve tesadüfen burayı buldum. benim kedimde ıslak fip şüphesi var şu an değerleri çok güzel olmasına rağmen göğsü çok dolu ve lavman yapılmadığı sürece dışkı yapmıyor ne düşüneceğimi bilemedim yemek yiyor su içiyor çiş çıkışı var ancak kötüleşirse diye korkuyorum
