Prayers for your kitty.

We had a cat that went through something similar, at around ten years old.

Used a plastic feeding syringe to feed him, Hill’s MD diet food that vet recommended, and mixed with water.

We fed him that way for quite a while till graduated to eating off a spoon, eventually went back to eating normal.

He did end up getting two insulin shots a day, which he didn’t seem to mind, maybe because he got a treat :) after.

He lived another 7 happy years.

We also gave him some liquid vitamin B12 for a while, and always kept Karo syrup on hand, as we did go through a couple seizures it worked to bring him out of it.

Thankfully, we had a great vet with reasonable prices, at the time.

I have some liquid b12. Wonder how much you give. I have read it can help. Maybe even a drop in her syringe would help.
