Try warming his food slightly or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate his appetite. The Ecuvit is a vitamin supplement and should be safe to give, however it may be best to wait until Kiki is eating regularly as vitamins given on an empty stomach may cause gastrointestinal upset. If he is not eating after 2 days, have him rechecked by your veterinarian. Cats who do not eat for 2+ days are at serious risk of developing liver related complications.
