My 1.5-year cat had suspected dry FIP and 40 days of 441; now it begs for food but will not eat kibble; what should I do?

Many things cause poor appetite, and long-term not eating leads to malnutrition, so find the reason and act accordingly. For suspected dry FIP, recheck related blood markers before stopping the injections to confirm recovery, then adjust the plan and care.

When appetite is poor, offer the cat tasty meat or canned food, which may spark interest. Also feed live probiotics for digestion; if the cat still will not eat after this, it is likely ill, so take it to a vet.
