My cat seems to be really unwell..

[Guest]

His so lethargic and was not eating.

I took him to a vet 2 days ago and they said it seems to be nothing psychically wrong with him and they did blood tests and everything and the results still came back fine.

After 3 days of not eating his finally eating a little bit each night but does not move off a specific lounge, day in, day out.

I literally have to spoon feed him his dinner at the couch for him to eat.

I feel like maybe his really depressed..?

I don't know what to do..

Be sure to check and ensure there are no plants that could be a danger to him (pollen from certain flowers can be dangerous even, they don't even have to be chewing on them just being in the presence of things like lilies can cause issues). Same with oils/diffusers and even hormone diffusers geared towards assisting cats with being more friendly/less stress can cause these things. Some cats actually have detrimental reactions to stuff like feliway and other similar products.

It is always possible that a pet can be struggling with depression/anxiety/etc things you can do to help is getting special treats, spending extra time with them/playing with them, getting new interactive toys or even changing up the scenery. If you have been experiencing low moods yourself take a look around and see if things around the house have gotten cluttered or out of sorts you may actually just have to clean/tidy the home it sounds odd but it's actually a thing.

Change foods. Trying cooking some chicken and add to the chicken bone broth. Sometimes the food is the issue. We think because it’s from the vet office or a store that it’s good. While it’s might be for some pets it’s not always the best for our pet. Try something different and check with the vet.

How old is your cat? Are you feeding dry or wet?

Have you tried warming up wet food? Warming the food can make it smell tastier to the cat and may encourage it to eat.

Chicken and chicken broth can also be used just to get some protein and the broth will help with dehydration.

Did the vet check the teeth? Any signs of respiratory issues? Any new changes in the home (why do you feel the cat is depressed)? It may help narrow down some things.
