I have also had great luck with cyproheptadine and the pil is small
and does not have a bad taste so i crush it with a bit of baby food
and syringe it that way, but I must also agree with Nina that you ned
vet advice. I also do sub q fluids so I can save syringe feeding for
nutrition and am sure they are well hydrated, but check with a vet.

I totally agree with Nina on this seek your Vet's opinion and options on this.
I have very good luck using "Cyproheptadine" as well on kitties that
weren't not eating.

Mary,
There have been concerns raised with the use of valium for kitties.
I've used the appetite stimulant Cyproheptadine made into a transdermal
gel to be applied to the inside tip of a cat's ear. It's much less
stressful to administer a drug in this way than forcing them to ingest
it. I strongly suggest that you speak to your vet about the different
options that would be appropriate in helping Cakooie begin eating and
for further diagnostic/treatment plans. I would also suggest that you
ask your regular vet for a referral to a board certified Internist
specialized in the care of cats. While we on the list are well meaning
in offering suggestions that might benefit you and your cat, you need to
seek the advice of a professional who will be better able to advise you
on protocols and medications indicated. Print out our emails and
archive suggestions and arm yourself with questions on how to best help
your Cakooie. Please make the appointment asap.
Nina
