If your pet has stopped eating, you should immediately contact a doctor to prevent serious consequences in time.

It is important to know that an animal may stop eating after vaccination or treatment against parasites.

In such cases, it is necessary to strictly follow the veterinarian's recommendations.

But it is important to take into account that sometimes the problem is not in how you feel, but in other, less obvious reasons.

For example, if the owner decides to change the food, the cat will definitely feel it. It is better not to switch to a new menu, but to do it gradually, so that the animal gets used to the new food.

In addition, it is worth remembering that cats are distinguished by their capriciousness and cleanliness.

Such an animal will not drink water or eat from a dirty bowl. That is why the pet's dishes should always be kept clean.

It is also worth noting that lack of appetite is a reaction to stress.

Animals can be sensitive to any changes in the home.

For example, a noisy child or a new pet appears as a guest. In this case, you need to respect the pet's personal space, and the food bowl should be placed in a comfortable place for it, where no one will disturb it.
