Dear Arfa,

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat.

With what you are describing, I would strongly advise taking her back to the vet to be hospitalized and placed on IV fluids. Depending on what her initial diagnosis was, her inappetence may make things much worse due to a condition known as hepatic lipidosis, which can happen when cats stop eating. And if she isn't drinking much either, she is at risk of becoming dehydrated.

Not opening her eyes properly is a sign of weakness and dehydration, so she needs to be placed on intravenous fluids urgently.

Good luck,

Dr Karyn
