Poor Loki! He is a cutie! There are so many things that can cause decrease appetite like parasites, respiratory infection, urinate infections, cereal viral infections, eating something he shouldn’t and much much more. I would continue to entice him with canned food and even some plain boiled chicken (no bones) if needed to get him to eat. If he starts vomiting or have diarrhea or becoming lethargic then you may want to see if there is an emergency vet in your area. Orherwise, i would just continue to watch him. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better soon!
