Lilly has almost come off her steroids and with that her appetite has gone back to being nothing at all! Shame her weight isn't coming down! The steroids made my not even 9 month old baby 4.5kg! And she's quite big too :(

She's gone off the raw food I used to make, the only thing I could get her to eat, she's barely touching dry food and I'm running out of kitten food options

She's had natures menu, hi-life, pets at homes purely thing, wiskas, felix, James well beloved, botiza (or whatever it is)

Daisy on the other hand eats everything!!!

I still hate the fact Lilly's not really eating although admittedly she's does need to lose some but still :(

Anyone have any suggestions??

Hi Elaine,

She's not exactly ill persay. She still twitches and stopped responding to the steroids for that but ate like a pig on them. I couldn't even serve her food up without her eating it before it was down for her. So much so I had to do it in a different room. She was waking me up at all hours for food as well. So she's now more less off he steroids and about to have allergy tests done, last possible contributory factor for the twitching.

She was putting on almost 400g a week on the steroids but I was not feeding her any more than normal, weight gain had been put down to mainly fluid retention that steroids cause. We have air con in the house now so i would assume the heat isn't that much of a contributing factor to appetite loss, but probably is still as they're going upstairs during the day and the air con isn't on up there.

She goes to the vets tomorrow for her tests so shall bring it up there but I'm pretty sure they're going to tell me that she's probably not eating that much due to coming off the steroids and her body readjusting back to normal. Ironically even tho she's not eating a great deal, she's not really losing any weight either.
