My cat is sick, not eating, and lying down after vet. What to do?

Pet's info: Cat | Asian | Male | unneutered | 5 lbs

My cat Alladin is sick since 4 days and it’s been a week he had eaten anything. I visited a vet nearby and got drips and injections yet he is lying down 24/7. Also I found a few ants in his cat food and I get a feeling that he might’ve swallowed it. What do I do to get him back to normal? He’s not intaking anything through his mouth just water. Please help!

I would recommend bringing Alladin back to the veterinarian for some blood work on him. Without more diagnostics, it is difficult to say what is going on with him. WIthout them, besides fluids and nutritional support, there is not much you can do, especially at home. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
