For context: My cat is a 14-year-old female. Recently we took her to the vet to get her teeth cleaned. She had to undergo anesthesia for the procedure, so I did not feed her after midnight and she was hungry by the early morning when we had to bring her in.
We got her back at 4 PM. She had blood work done before the anesthesia, and she was perfectly healthy. While she was under they cleaned her teeth, and one of her small front teeth fell out. They said no stitches were needed. They also trimmed her back claws, as we had asked, and cleaned her ears.
I did everything the vet said - kept her away from activity, and offered her wet food the first night...she didn't eat it.
It's officially been 5 and a half days since her procedures, and the only thing she's eaten this entire time is six treats. She drinks water but just barely. I can't get her to eat anything, and her litter box reflects that she's been drinking little and eating even less.
The things I have offered her:
-Wet food with chunks
-Pate wet food
-The specialized wet food from the vet, which they said is especially appetizing (both mixed with her usual dry food and by itself)
-Her usual dry food
-Her usual dry food, soaked in water to soften it
-Two types of treats (both types she has eaten with gusto before)
When I shake the treat or food bag, she comes running, but when I offer her food or treats, she doesn't eat them, apart from the second day where I offered her seven treats and she ate six of them. I'm scared she's going to starve herself. What is going on???
