Cat refusing kidney diet on Flagyl after diarrhea. What should I do?

Question

Hi after some months I finally got tony to eat his kidney diet,as his values are in the hi normal range. A week ago he had a bout of diarrhea & lack of appetite for a day so my vet gave me liquid flagyl. I’m on day 6 of 7 of the flagyl & tony is now refusing two different types of kidney food so I let him eat a non kidney food today b/c he of course needs to eat. I fear all our work in transitioning him to kidney food is lost. Normal to not want his normal diet while on flagyl maybe? thx. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 19 years and 1 month old | 9.5 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tony. I suspect his appetite has changed more due to his recent gastrointestinal upset than to the antibiotics. Once he has finished the medication, wait a few days and try to mix in the kidney diet again. Hopefully he will transition back over to it without a struggle. I hope this information helps!
