I agree with opus get her to eat something , have you any chicken bits, any dried food she may like my Tweety eats both ..Reading your post I think she is alone too much and you have to interact with her, goodness knows how she has been treated it takes time , so dont just leave a door open talk quietly to her , gently push food towards her , its a matter of patience . she is afraid .
are you feeding her the same food as she was getting at the shelter? the same stuff she is used to or are you trying something new? keep trying anything that will get her to eat....chicken broth is ok but its only fluids she has to eat protein too...get some different can cat foods or even people foods such as tuna, salmon anything right now...you have GOT TO GET HER TO EAT. if this doesn't work you will need to take her back to the Vet by tomorrow for sure...
hard to say whether she is just scared or not liking the food OR is she ill?
so start with leaving different foods for her tonight...she MUST eat by tonight or she will be seriously ill. if she eats something great....than a Vet is likely not needed b/c perhaps she just isn't liking the food you have left her but please if she won't be tempted to eat when you offer her canned food or human food than something is reallly wrong and you must get her back to a Vet by tomorrow♥
Im not sure what the medication is for. I believe one of them is an antibiotic, and one of them is a dewormer. But the other two im not exactly sure. I do have a pinch of food in a dish that she hasnt touched at all. The same for the water. Also, i was noticing last night that she walks up to the food and pushes it around with her nose. Could it be that she just doesnt feel like having that food? It almost seemed like she was starving but for some reason could not eat. I read online that some people try giving their cats chicken broth. Do you think that would be a good idea? Im hesitant to take her back to the vet, its through SEAACA, and im not too comfortable with their services. But ofcourse if i must, i will take her back.
Are you offering her the same food she's used to getting?
What medicines were you given? and for what? it is very important that you know this information.
You cannot continue to give her something if it makes her ill....the vet must be made aware of this too.
Please take her back to the Vet asap. If its just a matter of her being afraid you need to find this out....and that can be dealt with by alot of patience and love...but first of all SHE MUST EAT.
there shouldn't be any charge for a follow up appointment after a surgery....
if she won't eat on her own, get the Vet to show you how to assist feed her and right now!! or she'll become really sick and quickly too.
best of luck to you and dear Sprinkles....calm down, start with a Vet visit asap...and put food near her hiding place right now.
let us know how things go, got my fingers crossed for her♥
