A Sunny Morning to you from Scotland!!

This is the 3rd day of sun for us here...and we are taking full advantage
of it. 

My children are currently taking a few days of horse riding camp near a
town called Lanark. We are hanging out with the horses and friendly barn
cats, and visiting some local attractions.

Yesterday we hiked along the River Clyde and found a waterfall to cool
ourselves in.

Your Questions Answered
-------------------------------

Being around the friendly Scottish folk, I am getting many a question
about their pets.  This is one I recently answered, and I thought it may help you and your pet:

-------------------------------------------------------
What can I do to get my pet to start eating again?
-------------------------------------------------------


This can be a decrease in appetite, or it can be that your dog or cat
completely stops eating. If this has persisted, then your pet may be
lethargic, weak – although you should not wait this long for clinical
signs to appear.

The causes are varied. They can include a sore tooth, to an abscess, to
cancer. The important thing here is to get your dog or cat eating again
before a 24 hour period of anorexia causes further illness. This is
especially important for cats who can develop a condition called ‘Fatty
Liver’ if they go for 48 hours or more without eating.

Here are some specific suggestions for you to consider:

SEE YOUR VETERINARIAN. If your pet is very lethargic, not eating or
drinking, and becoming dehydrated then see your veterinarian immediately. 

Ideally you are treating your dog or cat for anorexia before they
completely stop eating or drinking. Your veterinarian will perform
additional diagnostic tests, and this may lead to force feeding your pet,
or even placing in some type of feeding tube.

WARM IT UP, AND ADD FLAVOR.  Dogs and sick cats often have a poorer sense of smell. I have had good luck getting them to eat by warming up the canned food, then making it a little more tasty by adding garlic powder, or beef or chicken oxo cubes.

CATNIP. Appetite stimulant. In these cases you are just trying to get your
dog or cat to start eating, regardless of the underlying cause. For cats,
I have had luck using a the catnip herb – I have given it as a tincture to
anorexic cats and had them eating soon.

CHAMOMILE OR PEPPERMINT.  There are anti-vomiting herbs which can be given as a tea – at the very least this can re-hydrate your dog or cat. You can make a herbal tea of either herb – give 1 tablespoon per 10 lbs  every 4-6 hours.

ALFALFA. For general anorexia not linked to any underlying cause, look at homeopathic alfalfa – you can give one 30C tab per 20 lbs 4 times daily.

Heal Your Pet At Home!

Best Wishes,

Dr Andrew Jones, DVM
