Cat Not Eating Or Drinking Sleeping All Day

Ive gone through this twice with her where she just stops eating AND drinking and sleeping a lot.

Cat not eating or drinking sleeping all day. Granted she sleeps a lot normally but this was more sleeping. He just became quiet and stopped eating or drinking. With fatty liver disease the liver is overwhelmed trying to convert fat to energy.

In its early stages kidney failure causes increased thirst combined with weight. Losing a beloved family member whether animal or human can cause some cats to stop eating due to anxiety or depression. The main danger when a cat stops eating is feline hepatic lipidosis commonly called fatty liver disease.

Healthy cats can survive for 1 week or more without food and just 3 days without water consumption. Very small poops in the box today. Its quite serious when a cat doesnt eat for more than three days as it makes them prone to developing a fatty liver.

Encourage food consumption and hydration if your cat doesnt eat for 24 hours or doesnt drink for 12 hours. If a cat is withdrawn and sleeping more it could be attempting to hide pain or illness. There are many possible causes but the cats age and symptoms are most consistent with end-stage kidney failure.

Stress or anxiety can also be caused by changes in the home environment. Lack of Flavor If the flavors are too intense or it lacks taste then he may be disinterested or disgusted by your food similar to humans who cant eat if they dont like the taste. Its also serious he isnt drinking water he is.

If he is straining to urinate at all then he could have a urinary tract blockage which is very serious and requires an emergency visit tonight. This morning he is completely lethargic. Its been 3 days I think.
