She ate very little last night and this morning. Tonight she wouldn't
touch her supper. It looks like a trip to TED tomorrow.

Many purrs and prayers for you and your baby. Please keep us posted.

Amber ate an unbelievable supper tonight. I recommend the
Cyproheptadine (1/2 of a 4 mg tablet) if you have a cat that won't eat.
I got it from my vet for just that purpose. If you are interested
Google "Cyproheptadine for cats" for more information.

Thanks for the update. Purrs for Amber to continue feeling well.

OK, I did. That was interesting. It's an antihistamine, but for some
reason, it also stimulates the appetite in cats. The article I read said
that this was probably due to the "anti-serotonin" effect of the drug.
I guess that means it's not recommended for cats who are clinically
depressed.

Seriously, I'm glad it's working for Amber, and I hope it continues to!

It doesn't go through the blood-brain barrier. It's sometimes given
to people on antidepressants to counter the sexual side-effects like
impotence and reduced libido - those effects are caused by increased
serotonin outside the brain.

The summer I adopted Rusty, he stopped eating, probably because of
the
heat and the new environment for him. The vet prescribed valium. It
worked.
That was the first time I had to pill him.

Oh, that's great. I didn't know there was such a thing - no doctor
prescribing me SSRIs has ever mentioned that. Then again, I haven't
complained much about this. Being single, I generally appreciate
having a reduced libido.

I was mostly joking about the clinical depression in cats, btw.

I'm so glad to hear that Amber is doing so much better.

We're glad she's eating. Keep up the good work, little one.
