siamese not eating

Question
My siamese/oriental has just had his booster, and my kitten his second vaccination. He got an infection in his eye from a kitten scratch, and the vet gave us some eye drops. He's having trouble eating, his throat seems very sore, and he's lost alot of weight. hes sneezed a couple of times, but the vetsays its nothing to worry about and to keep him eating. I've tried strong smelling pilchards, and softer foods, and he'll only eat off a spoon. What else should i try? He likes vanilla yoghurt- is that a good idea?


Answer
Hi Rach,

I have a recipe for something called Kitty Glop. It works wonders with convalescing cats. Feed him this stuff. It will help him a lot. But after about a week he doesn't seem better, take him back to the vet. There may be something else wrong with him that the vet didn't pick up on. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
