There is an important difference between ‘fussiness’ and ‘inappetence’. The former has its roots in behaviour while a
sudden loss of appetite could be a sign your pet is experiencing dental
problems, illness or pain.
Owners should always seek veterinary advice to establish if
a medical condition is responsible (this is especially important in cats as
their health can decline rapidly if they stop eating).
If your pet is not unwell or underweight as a result of the
issue, you are most likely to be looking at a behavioural rather than a medical
problem, but always err on the side of caution and speak to your vet if you are
worried.
If there are no medical reasons for your pet to reject their
food, choose the options below for our advice!
