I was fortunate w/my CRF girl to never need an appetite stimulant so I have no first hand experience w/cypro.
Does Sampson seem nauseous at all? licking lips, smelling the food like he wants to eat but just walks away, hovering over the food or water dishes? If he is he may need an acid blocker like Zantac ~ to be prescribed & dosed by the vet of course.
