Pet cats are known for being fussy eaters. There are even some who eat socially, that is, they will refuse to eat unless the human companion is beside them and encouraging or petting them. Some will snob even the premium wet cat food, dry kibble, or kitty treats. While turning down food is not uncommon with pets, there are cases where a pet cat’s refusal to eat may constitute an emergency. You will need to determine if your pet needs veterinary intervention. Remember that if your pet’s health is at risk, only your veterinarian can give you a proper diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prescription.
There are various reasons why pet cats could suffer from appetite loss and refusal to eat. Change and stress could be reasons for this. If your pet cat is under a lot of stress because of a move, introducing a new member of the household whether human or another pet or any other major change in the environment, she may stop eating and may display anorexia symptoms. Stress in cats can be brought about by a number of reasons, therefore, you will need to consider carefully any recent changes. Pet cats can experience depression and anxiety, therefore, your licensed veterinary clinic Lakewood Ranch FL, or perhaps an animal behavior specialist may be able to assist you in identifying the symptoms of conditions like these.
