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.

soooo nice. was my 1st bff and always will be. known him my whole life. had heart disease but lived long past his life expectancy from which the doctors told him he was going to die at age 9. still acted like a puppy until september 2010. deaf, blind, and lost his sense of smell so he often fell asleep on accident. very skinny because not strong enough to move or eat. i miss you.
