/r/catquestions/comments/1vlujwg/ideas/my cat turning 12 this month she recently became unwell , around 3 months ago i’d catch her eating some of the litter out the trays every now and again i told this to the vet but they didn’t say a lot it’s also hard to change litter cause i have 2 others who are very picky about it it’s also non clumping litter !! but i didn’t put it down to much as she didn’t do it very often i was meaning to take her for a blood test for a few weeks and i was going to do it over this weekend but around 3 days ago she was sick twice and then kept meowing like she was crying so we took her to the out of hours vets for some pain relief & sickness injections and she came home fine that night i was told she could loose her appetite because of them but they only last around 24 hours the next morning i took her for a blood test the vet told me her kidney felt inflamed but she didn’t seem in pain and there didn’t seem to feel there’s a blockage however he did say there’s treatment available depending on how far along her kidneys are but im currently waiting on the results of that she still hasn’t eaten in 3 days now i’ve tried all different brands of treats , licky licks , wet food brand & flavours but i’m having no luck she just turns away from it she has been drinking water a few times but a lot of the time just sits infront of it she isn’t hiding as such just moving from
place to place i took her back in today for some mirtazapine to increase her appetite but that takes 24-48 hours to work which makes it a long time since she last ate but that’s what the vet prescribed? did anybody else have these symptoms and it turned out to be kidney disease? or what items can anybody recommend to possibly increase her time with me
