I would definitely syringe feed her. Not just a little though. You want totry to get 100 cc's per day into her. I would do it in meals of 20-30 cc's at a time. A/D is what they usually use. You can use baby food short-term.

thank you so much michelle i have a smaller type syringe at home but no markings on it... how much in regular measurents ( cups/oz) would 100 cc be? i have been feeding her wellness and eagle pack wet food...she has pretty much turned her nose up to all of it over the last day or so... i will get some of the hills a/d do you just soften it with some broth to get it into the syringe?What exactly is wrong with Minnie? I may have missed some of thethread.Is she being treated for anything?

Felv, michelle. i hate that she is suffering like this... she has been my constant companion for the past ten years

It is pretty soft anyway. You just mix in a little water. You need to get 
it from a vet, though, as it is prescription. 

You can also try Gerber's turkey or chicken or lamb baby food. And 
you can try the liver shake recipe, sick cats often will eat that and it is very 
nutritious. Here is the recipe:

1 cup RAW LIVER (BEEF, or CHICKEN) 1 
cup FRESH CARROT JUICE or V-8, or Tomatoe Juice 1/4 cup *FRESH 
FILTERED WATER 1 RAW EGG 
YOLK 1 tsp.KELP POWDER OR 
SPIRULINACOMBINE AND MIX IN A BLENDER UNTIL 
LIQUIFIED. (Note: it will be 
frothy)Dosage:Administer lOcc 
daily 3-6 times a day. (6Occ per day max)Some cats will 
need to be force-fed with a syringe, while others willdrink it out 
of a bowl.This food has a sweet and salty taste, and the 
energetic properties oftonifying (energy boosting), warming and 
stimulating and supports thekidneys, spleen, liver and 
stomach.This drink is a complete dinner for a sick cat 
until they feel goodenough to eat by themselves again.
You may need to put some on her lips for her to taste it and realize she 
likes it. I have had that happen. I think it smells strange, but they love the 
taste. Sometimes they like it warmed a little, too.

What is her diagnosis?
