As your cat gets older, his appetite may diminish and you may begin to worry. If a cat has been diagnosed with thyroid or kidney disease loss of appetite is a common occurence.  Our cat Atlantis has been diagnosed with both and while sometimes his appetite is ok, there are times where we really struggle to get him to eat. He does have digestive issues but it’s important to keep him eating consistently. Our vet has recommended an appetite enhancer. It’s a transdermal medication that is applied once a day in his ear. This medication really helps to enhance his appetite. Yesterday Atlantis ate more than he usually does and his appetite seems to be improving.

It’s always a struggle to keep our fur babies happy and healthy especially as they get older. If your cat is not eating as much and does not have a stomach virus or another temporary issue that can cause him to stop eating, speak to your vet about putting him on an appetite enhancer, it could be just what he needs!

Remember, your pets count!
