Reply #6: Is she interested in eating?..

[Princess Turandot]

right now my cat is on a course of cyproheptadine, which is a human antihistamine that can stimulate appetites in certain animals, including dogs.

My vet gave a me a transdermal preparation of it where I can just rub some inside of his ear, although it also comes in small pills. Yuri had a traumatic event (aka vet malpratice) after a routine operation for the removal of bladder stones which resulted in his completely losing his appetite for over a week. (He was hospitalized, and first force fed, then tube fed.) Now that he is home, he needs to be on a special diet to prevent a re-occurence of the stones, and he isn't too thrilled about it.
