It's coronavirus

I picked up some appetite stimulant pills at the vets today. When my kitty stopped eating, somebody suggested I try feeding her baby food. I picked up some Gerber 2.5oz jars of chicken baby food. I also bought some small plastic spoons they sell in the baby food department at Walmart. To my surprise kitty ate the stuff right up, I was in tears as she licked and ate spoon after spoon of the stuff. Your vet may also suggest Hills Prescription Diet a/d. It has a strong smell which is good for cats, when they stop eating it's usually because they've lost their sense of smell or need something stronger smelling to encourage them to eat. Try getting a can and see how they like it. As for the coronavirus, try not to focus on that. I had a vet specialist tell me that it's a very common thing for cats to have, it's seldom tested for also. Most cats have the virus, their owners never knowing about it, and the cats will live a completely normal life. I suspect your cats all have a cold, it will last three weeks and then everything will slowly return to normal. Your cats have a great person to take care of them, they know they are loved very much. I hope it isn't anything I've done but there is an outside chance I could have tracked it in. My youngest cat was staying elsewhere from Sept 11 to Sept 26 and this crap started 10 days later. BUT if this is the case, why did all 5 cats come down with this at exactly the same time? They have coronavirus but I doubt it is the cause of the not eating or drinking. The cat in the middle of the age bracket is recovering fastest, and this is strange. |
