Is she on any gastroprotectants - perhaps she has some GI ulceration. <p> usually the appetite does improve with PCV but would agree a feeding tube would be a good plan otherwise</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/86726?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:47:25 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:eb039343-50aa-4552-89f0-99509f60aa53Holly Lee<p>Sorry!
