Cat won’t eat! -and I am at a loss! – What haven’t I tried? To find the causes quickly – you have to start with the most common reason: Dental disease! This affects 80 % of all cats.

1. Insufficient Ca : P ratio of feed. Calcium deficiency also causes bone loss in the periodontium in the mouth. And in 50% of cats aged 5 and over, the tooth even dissolves from the inside. This disease is called FORL.
2. undisturbed bacterial growth in the mouth. The aggressiveness of the bacterial layers increases. Inflammation develops within 48 hours. Tartar forms in 2 weeks. And toothache hurts your cat just as much as it hurts us humans.
