Practical relevance: Inappetence is a commonly encountered problem in feline medicine. Primary goals in managing the inappetent or anorectic cat are to diagnose and treat the underlying disease and reinstate adequate nutrition. Rationale: As cats are intolerant of prolonged periods of inadequate nutritional intake, especially given their propensity to develop hepatic lipidosis, their increased requirements for amino acids, and inability to slow their rate of gluconeogenesis, symptomatic therapy…

The material for this review draws heavily on a relatively large number of original studies, excellent reviews by recognized experts, and informative communication with experienced clinicians, hence the term ‘collective effort’.
Evaluation of the safety in dogs of long‐term, daily oral administration of capromorelin, a novel drug for stimulation of appetite
- Medicine, BiologyJournal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics
- 2017
Capromorelin was well tolerated in dogs at daily doses up to 40 mg/kg for 12 months, demonstrating a wide safety margin and drug-related increases in liver weight were linked to overall increases in body weight.

The appetite-stimulating effect of gabapentin was evaluated by comparing it with mirtazapine in healthy cats in the first 8 h after ovariectomy surgery and food intake increased in both treatment groups vs placebo.

Although this is a terminal condition, horses can be maintained with an adequate quality of life for several years after diagnosis in some cases, there is a need for more sensitive markers of renal damage or dysfunction so that the disease can be detected earlier in its course.

The challenge for the practitioner is not only to diagnose and treat the underlying condition, but to recognise at what point inadequate food intake has or will impinge on the patient's nutritional status to the extent that it might deleteriously affect clinical outcome.

Effect of cyproheptadine on serum leptin levels
- Biology, MedicineAdvances in therapy
- 2005
Serum leptin concentrations in patients who received cyproheptadine to treat a variety of disorders were evaluated and an increase in the mean leptin level after 1 week of treatment with cypro heptamines was 14.2% higher than that at baseline, which may suggest that both leptin and CyprohePTadine may affect appetite via similar receptors.

On the basis of the presumption that diazepam was hepatotoxic in these cats, an increase in serum transaminase activity within 5 days of treatment initiation indicates a need to suspend drug administration and to provide supportive care.
