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…

Subhypnotic dose of intravenous propofol stimulates appetite in cats with stress-induced anorexia
TLDR
A subhypnotic dose of intravenous propofol increased appetite in cats with stress-induced anorexia for a 30 min period.
Anorexia and the Cancer Patient.

TLDR
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
TLDR
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.
Appetite-stimulating effect of gabapentin vs mirtazapine in healthy cats post-ovariectomy
TLDR
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.

Tools for managing feline problem behaviours: Psychoactive medications
TLDR
This article aims to guide practitioners by discussing questions such as how to choose the appropriate medication, how to dose it and how long to use it.
Update in feline therapeutics
TLDR
The selection of medications discussed is based on many of the clinical challenges commonly encountered in practice, and the evidence for use of some of these medications is limited due to their novelty.
Amino Acids in the Nutrition, Metabolism, and Health of Domestic Cats.
TLDR
Meeting dietary requirements for both EAAs and NEAAs in proper amounts and balances is crucial for improving the health, wellbeing, longevity, and reproduction of cats.
Chronic kidney disease in adult horses: causes, diagnosis and management
TLDR
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.

TLDR
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.
Mirtazapine as an appetite stimulant and anti-emetic in cats with chronic kidney disease: a masked placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial.
Effect of cyproheptadine on serum leptin levels
TLDR
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.
Fulminant hepatic failure associated with oral administration of diazepam in 11 cats.
TLDR
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.
Treatment of the serotonin syndrome with cyproheptadine.
Acute starvation and subsequent refeeding affect lymphocyte subsets and proliferation in cats.
TLDR
It is suggested that a 7-d starvation period had immunosuppressive effects on cats and that these effects were not completely normalized during 7 d of refeeding.

Proconvulsant potential of cyproheptadine in experimental animal models
TLDR
It is concluded that cyproheptadine pretreatment reduces threshold, increases severity of seizures and decreases the efficacy of clinically used anti‐epileptic drugs in experimental animal models of convulsions.
Pharmacological options for advanced cancer patients with loss of appetite and weight
TLDR
Data to support the use of progestational agents and corticosteroids are reviewed, the findings of other more recent studies in this field are discussed and an overview of promising strategies that merit further investigation are provided.
