Picky eater (17 years old)
My 17 year old lady has been very picky with eating lately. Typically she grazes on her hydrolyzed protein (for inflammatory bowel disease). And Fancy Feast pate twice a day.
Recently she stopped being interested in the dry food and became “ravenous†for wet food, eating 4+ servings a day. I fed her when she asked cos she’s old and I didn’t want her to starve.
Vet diagnosed her with hyperthyroidism. I have been administering meds for that for 2 weeks now.
Now she will barely eat anything. She will go to the kitchen to ask for food, but when I serve it she will look at it and walk away. I’ve tried many types of wet food, mixing it with dry food, sardines, tuna, red salmon, boiled chicken. She will nibble at something if she hasn’t eaten in a while then leave the rest. She seems to have always liked seafood pate but it’s not always a win.
I’ll call the vet tomorrow. But wondering if anyone has ever had this happen with their kitty?
