My cat won't eat kidney food. Is Entyce better than Mirtazapine?

Question

Hi would mirtazapine and entyce work in the same way? I ask because tony is on 1/8 mirtazapine everyday and it doesn’t really seem to help as far as getting him To eat kidney food any easier. Would you recommend trying entyce or are they basically the same thing? Thx! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 18 years and 11 months old | 9.5 lbs

Good question. They are both appetitive stimulants but are a different class of drug so they work in different ways. I think it is worth a shot trying to the Entyce. I would also highly recommend informing your veterinarian about this continued issue because often times the pets kidney values are really high, causing appetite suppression alone. Also ask your vet about getting Tony on Cerenia (anti-nausea) medication long term (can be given every other day in renal failure cats ) to help with his appetite. Often cats won’t eat because they are nauseous due to elevated toxins in their blood stream from the kidney disease. Also a product called Azodyl can help reduce kidney values more naturally. I hope these suggestions help you get Tony’s appetite back to what it used to be. Best wishes and take care!
