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.

Smeagol was the cuddle monster. Unfortunately he did have a congenital heart problem and was paralyzed after having a stroke. We decided to euthanize him after seeing the fear in his eyes at being unable to move. He is very severely missed.
