Valium is one.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

There are appetite stimulants you could ask your vet about (I can't remember
what they are either).
What were you feeding him? If it was commercial dry, try something like
Innova Evo dry (very flavorful, lots of meat used - even at his very sickest,
my Slinky was still eating his Evo) or a canned food (Evo is best, but others
will do). I know a lot of people have had luck with Friskies, Fancy Feast, and
Nine Lives canned foods for kitties who aren't eating.
As Patti said, meat baby food can often work (buy Beach Nut brand as it is
only meat and broth, no additives) and if it's just a matter of getting kitty
over this hump, you can water it down a bit and syringe-feed it. Also try
smelly, strong flavored food - tuna, cooked chicken or broth, etc.
It's important that you get kitty to start eating asap! If they go more than
a day or two without food, they can get very sick - can't remember what it's
called, but someone else will know. So do what you can to get him eating.
Good luck! Hugs and ear scrintchies to the babies!

Also, baby food [meat] can also help.....
There also is a med. that can induce the eating, but, forgive me, memory's
semi-gone when it comes to certain [impt.] things....
