My senior cat is hospitalized, not eating after feeding tube. Advice?

Question

Our cat is currently hospitalized. Its been a tough couple months for him. He lost his best pal due to kidney disease...and it was after that he had some problems with constipation.. repeated enemas.. and stress around oral medication lead him to stop eating. He is now at vet on a feeding tube and after 3 days of feeding tube still not wanting to eat. Im hoping over time he will eat some. He is 11 and was in relatively good health.. just want him to get past this situation. Any advice. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | 11 years and 2 months old | 23 lbs

I'm sorry Copper isn't doing well! Being at the vet is the best thing possible for him, and I would keep him there as long as the vet wants and follow the vet's treatment plan. That's the best advice I can give without seeing him in person. I hope he gets better soon.
