Hi, All,
I have found that several of my cats who won't eat the pill pockets, will
eat a pill inside another soft-type treat like Whisker Lickins or hairball
treats.
The Whisker Lickins are more crumbly than PP and sometimes you need to use
more than one but mine seem to like the flavor more than PP..

Mine is doing everything not to swallow anything.

Bugra, did the vet do any other blood work? If so can you get a copy of the

an indication of anemia.
The appetite stimulant is probably Cyproheptadine (aka Periactin) which is an
antihistamine. Most vets Rx too
