I have good news to report, Jake has regained his appetite and his personality as well.  I am so relieved!  I don't know what it was, but I stopped the vitamin C and the meds and he slowly came back.  He still is having diarrhea though.  I will try the Diarsanyl, hopefully that will help. 

 

I am giving him Interferon -- what are some other things you all use to supplement?  Sorry for all the questions, but I am new to this and want to do what's best for my kitty!

I actually had to force feed my Ginger for over 3 months.  She is also FelK positive, her appetites runs like a roller coaster sometimes, all of sudden, she stops eating as if she forgets to eat.. but she never acts sick or not feeling well at all, she just refuses food.. it happened about three times for the past year that I have had her.. but now, she is eating like a little piggy girl (thanks to my baby angel, Garfunkle).. you have to make sure though you give enough food to complement a day supplement for a kitty, if it's too much to do at a time, you might have to give 6 servings or so to make it up.. a kitty needs 36cc food at least, I was told..

Thanks for the tips!  The vet did suggest Pepsid so I have been doing that.  I am mainly concerned about his lack of appetitie, and general him not being "himself."  I mean how long can I force feed him?  It's frustrating because I wish he could just tell me what is wrong and I could fix it!

Also, I would order an over-the-counter diarrhea medicine for cats called Diarsanyl, which I have found really good for curing simple diarrhea. And slippery elm can help a lot with both nausea and diarrhea.
