Sick Dogs and Cats that won’t Eat – Pet Tip 252
We all know how important nutrition is to good health. Food gives us fuel for energy and allows us to do things that we usually take for granted. The same goes for animals. However, when an animal is sick, or is in the hospital, it can often be very tricky to get them to eat properly. The term “anorexia” means that an animal is inappetent, uninterested in food, and has stopped eating. It is very important to keep the calories up in a sick patient since this is the time they need them the most. Nutritionists have calculated formulas for energy requirements for different sized animals that are healthy.

Simon doesn't like crowds or anything new. When the house is quiet he is the suckiest, loving cat. He really loves sitting on your lap and being very close. He's even putting up with the new addition to our house, our 6 month old Golden Retriever, Sadie. :: That was over five years ago. We even got another dog, Dexter to add to our family. Sadly, Simon passed away on February 9th, 2010. He was over 18 years old. From a self sufficient to a very high maintenance cat in a matter of two years. He was brave as he battled hyper-thyroidism, kidney disease, heart murmurs and anxiety. He needed me so much care that our trip to the east coast in 2009 had him riding in the trailer for 2 months. For this rough ride he enjoyed lobster from the Bay of Fundy. He had a great life, I am sure he'd say. But he was wore out in the end and we made the decision to put him to sleep. Farewell my dear cat, Simon. You will be missed.
