Treatment of Anorexia in Cats

The first line of attack against cat anorexia goes against its underlying cause. To reverse dehydration, decrease nausea, and improve nutrition, the veterinarian might provide some supportive therapy.
The initial treatment will conclude with an intravenous. If the cat has spent two or three days with no food, a feeding tube might be placed.
The veterinarian might choose to prescribe you feline some medication to reduce inflammation (steroids), to stimulate appetite, and to reduce nausea.
