Title: Cat not eating or drinking
Post by: liquorice on December 28, 2011, 08:42:58 AM

Hi

Tiny had an ear infection a while ago and couldn't eat because she was sore in her mouth, so the vets gave her some ear drops and painkiller. This all worked, but now the black gunk is back in her ear and she is not eating or drinking. Can anybody help?

Thanks

Sounds like the infection is back, you should get Tiny to the vet asap - especially if she's not eating or drinking.

Hope she's okay.

I agree she needs seen again quickly. Cats must keep eating and drinking but the pain in her ear will make her not want to do this. Perhaps a swab to identify the exact cause would be best and try tempting her with fresh fish, chicken etc maybe mixed with gravy will help get her going again.
I hope she feels better soon. x

Please get her to a vet asap.
