Cat that we adopted with anxiety isn’t eating. Please help!!!!!
Previous owners were getting rid of this cat because they said she had anxiety from other cats in the house. I got her on Sunday because I can stand anxiety, but not eating? I’m not sure if she had been drinking water but she hasn’t used liter-box. Previous owners claimed that they took her to the vet about her anxiety and they said there’s no medical problems except anxiety. They just gave her anxiety meds. This isn’t 48 hours yet but I don’t want to wait until that point. Should we syringe feed her? We have tried the kibble they claimed she likes we have tried tuna fish, tubes and other treats. We haven’t tried her wet food yet but if she doesn’t eat that we are likely screwed. I’m worried that taking her to the vet would stress her out so much her body would give since she’s already skinny. Should I return her back to where she was at least eating and drinking if she continues not eating until tonight ? Or should I syringe feed her? What do I do. Edit: we gave her some of the anxiety meds hopefully that helps
