I hope you have taken your cat to the vet by now. My cat was having the same problems. She wouldn't eat or drink, her nose was dry, and she wasn't acting like her usual self. After a couple of weeks of this I took her to the vet. It turns out she has inflammatory bowel disease and fatty liver disease. Both of these are treatable as long as the treatment is aggressive and early on. I hope your kitty doesn't have what my cat is, but since she's not eating you must take her to the vet ASAP. I wish I would have taken my cat in earlier. She may not have gotten so bad, and I may have been able to save a little on the vet bill.

Well, I hope this isn't the same for you, and I don't mean to scare you, but my cat was like this too, and unfortunately, we waited too long to take him to the vet, but it was some kidney disease. But the only way we could get him to eat(just Little, but still some food) was to mix it with water, so I would try that as soon as you can, cause your cat needs nutrients

I hope your kitty doesn't have anything this serious, but if she isn't eating you really should take her to the vet. I hope this helps!

Hi Tarantism,

We think my cat could possibly have IBD. The vomiting for the most part has resolved but he is still having some episodes of bloody stools. He has been on metronidazole and we have attempted to change his diet. He will not eat a few of the flavors of the IVD food that I have tried. What type of food and regimen is your kitty on? Does she seem to be doing a lot better? Thanks!

Hi!
How's your kitty doing? I hope he is doing better. It's really strange because my kitty has been doing great since August. She has gained all of her weight back and she has been very happy. However, she has been vomiting a little bit every couple of days for the past few weeks. I took her into the vet today. They are going to do some tests to see what's going on. They think it might be her IBD acting up again.

My kitty eats D/D rabbit and pea formula. She loves it. Have you tried that one yet?
