Hi, I have a cat that has a problem. She did not eat, do not drink. Vets a few times led vitamins, but it doesn't work. A few days ago he ate, and after day,she again not ate. Vets were doing more studies, they suggest that the cat healthy. Maybe you know what can we do?

Hi and thanks for posting! I am sorry to hear your cat is not eating or drinking. This is definitely not normal and may indicate Darkas is not well. It is hard to say exactly what the cause is without seeing Darkas first. Viral infections, bacterial or parasitic infections, dental or oral disease, organ dysfunction and others could all be potential causes. I would wait and see what the diagnostic tests reveal to get a better idea of what is going on so he can get the most appropriate care and treatment. Best wishes to you and Darkas!
