omg....that's exactly what happened to my previous 2 cats 9 years ago because a stupid vet specialist for pet allergies put one of them on this diet that he told me was safe for all 3 of my cats! it was horribly devastating, as i tried to save them, since they were young and had been totally healthy prior to that medical mistake. my oldest cat, who's 13, is the only survivor of my last generation, since she never got sick that way. i was scared for months that i was going to lose her, too, and kept my eye very closely on her well-being. the oldest had been my hubby's cat when we were girlfriend and boyfriend. the 2 i lost had been mine. sucked, yeah. that's why i'm so picky in the vet i chose for all my furries, because i don't ever, ever want to go through that again. good thing is, my oldest and the 2 more additions and one dog are very healthy, since i take very good care of them and have a vet that i can totally trust. it's true, if your cat hasn't eaten for any, ANY reason for more than 2 days, do not ever hesitate to take them to the vet. some cats are prone to this liver disease if they don't eat. and, it's quite difficult to bring them back from that, since it's a very labor-intensive kind of care. gost.....i know that horror. i went through it 9 years ago. i know the devastation. i totally feel for you.
