Thank you for your kind encouragement and suggestions. My girl spent 4 days at the vet where they ran every test under the sun to
find that she is one very healthy kitty...
who is still not eating. She was sent home today with Amoxi,Nutical,Pedialite and a $339 bill. She feels better now that she is home (currently laying on the keyboard, purring) I purchased an oral suringe to force feed her as it was suggested. I've found another vet that she may visit if she doesn't snap out of it soon. At least she hasn't lost her cattitude.

You can also give her nutrical to supplement her diet. It's a vitamin paste and most cats will eat it right up. If they don't you can put it on the roof of their mouth so they have to.

Thanks for the great tip. She hates the taste of the NutriCal but now, slightly against her will, she takes it right down. She has made a remarkable turn around, waking me up to feed her. She was the runt of the litter and remained petite, so the weight loss was devestating. We are very positive and she is quite content to be even more spoiled than before (I didn't think that was possible)

Most of my cats like it, but the one who needs it hates it. I have to put it on the roof of his mouth so he will eat it. He doesn't like it, but he needs the nutrients.

I'm glad to hear that your little one is doing bettter.
