Hello. For such a geriatric kitty, I would have Charlie seen as soon as possible. These older kitties are very often just bordering on the edge of dehydration & will benefit from some fluids, often given subcutaneously. This alone can often help their appetite, too. Please have Charlie evaluated at your earliest convenience. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
