My cat is a very picky eater and won't eat. What's the vet's advice?

Question

My cat is very finicky eater since he was only few months. I've already tried everything what does vet advice to me. I've tried everything as much as I can do. I've been doing a lot of things for his whole life just to make him eat but it doesn't work. He's very thin and he's not even sick. His food is just going to trash. I'm clueless about taking care of him when he was a kitten. Since now I know how to take care of a cat rightly, is it okay to give him up and start with another new kitten???? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 8 months old | 6.5 lbs

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Wilkie is not wanting to eat, there could be medical reasons behind this behavior such as dental disease or a tooth or oral infection. Other possibilities may include something infectious, organ dysfunction, an endocrine disorder, or other causes. If all medical conditions have been entirely ruled out by a veterinarian, then my best advice is to just stick with one brand of food and try not to change the food or add other food items to it to entice him to eat as this will allow him to become a very picky eater. Try giving him only one type of food-if he is healthy and well, he will not starve himself! He will eventually learn to eat what is given to him. I hope this helps and thank you for posting!
