🚨 When Your Cat Stops Eating, It’s NOT “Just a Phase”…
Your pet’s appetite is one of the most important signs of their health. If your cat suddenly refuses food or shows less interest in meals, don’t wait it out — it could be a red flag.
🐾 Today we saw a cat who hadn’t eaten in over a day. Her humans thought she was just being fussy… but under the surface, something more serious was brewing.
Loss of appetite (also called anorexia) in pets isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a symptom. And it can point to a range of issues like:
🔬 Digestive problems (constipation, nausea, parasites)
🦷 Dental pain (tooth infection, gingivitis)
😿 Stress or anxiety (new pet, environment change)
🦠 Viral or bacterial infections
🧬 Liver, kidney, or metabolic diseases
🧼 Something as simple — or dangerous — as a hairball, toxin, or foreign body ingestion
❤️ Your pet can’t tell you what’s wrong, but changes in eating habits are their way of speaking.
📞 Don’t wait. If the bowl stays full, call your vet.
