Question

Tight fussybwith food for a year ended up having to rotate brands and flavours but eat very well but since last night she's had a mouthful of five different brands and flavours but can't really eat anything. He's still hungry. Won't have any of human food even chicken at all. Please help. Very worried. Plus your advice on my cavilier was life changing. Don't trust my vet.

Poor Tibby! If he is having problems eating then he might have a dental problem and it might be painful to eat. He could also have an upset stomach or possibly have kidney disease, liver disease, endocrine disease, etc. which is making him feel nauseous. He really should be examined by a vet to identify any problems. Your vet can also run some blood-work, if needed, to evaluate his organ function. He might need an anti-nausea medication, antacid, gastrointestinal protectant, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, or he might need a dental cleaning. Hope he feels better soon!
