Loss of appetite
After almost a week of Clavamox, Rusty is losing his appetite. He hardly
touched his dinner tonight. I tried to spoon feed him to no avail. Tomorrow when I go to pickup more prescription food and next week's antibiotic. I will talk to the vet about it. Previously Rusty lost appetite while on a different antibiotic, but not with Clavamox. Purrs are appreciated. This cat has caused me so much worry. -- Winnie |

Hi Winnie, Antibiotics kill the bad bugs but also the good ones too, in particular the natural gut flora in the digestive system that we all have - and cats too of course. You can offer Rusty some live natural yogurt on a spoon to lick, if he will accept it. This will replace some of the gut flora which will have been killed and without which he may not be feeling very hungry, or a bit upset. Or else the vet may sell a food supplement - in the UK there is one called Lacto-B (it includes Lactobacillus, which is one of the normal gut organisms). It's a white powder in a tub which you sprinkle on/mix with food and most cats eat it happily. Purrs for Rusty to feel better very soon.

Loss of appetite
Yes I am giving him Pepcid according to the vet's recommendation.
Even bought a pill slitter to cut the tablets. It worked very well. Haven't found any 'cat spits' on the floor. This morning there was still a bit leftover from last night supper. He used to clean his plate. I opened a new can this morning and coaxed him to eat. He only had a few bites for breakfast and went to sleep. I use eye droppers to give him water. He is peeing normally in the box. The stool looked very soft. I may go get some acidophillus (? spelling) to sprinkle on his food. I did that before. But then he has to eat his food first.

Update: Loss of appetite

I have to cut the tablet into 3 pieces and give him 1 piece 2X a day. It may be a challenge to cut into 3 even with a pill splitter. She also told me to give him Hill's A/D. Anyone has experience with A/D? I know it is important to make sure Rusty eats. But sometimes it is easier said than done. I tried to force feed him with a syringe but not much success. He spit the food out and made a mess. I was told to continue with the Pepsid AC. Please keep purring. It is very stressful for both of us. I was almost in tears. Winnie limited success. |
