So my bengal kitten was spayed 10 days ago. They sent her home with antibiotics, an e-collar, and pain medication that night. She ran out of antibiotics two days ago and hasn't eaten her food since then. I feed her a mix of raw chicken with liver, heart, and bones. She's been picking the organ meat right out and just leaving the rest of the chicken there. She doesn't act sick and seems to have her normal playful personality. I've looked at her stitches and I don't see any redness or unusual swelling there either.

Up until the antibiotics ran out she was eating just fine even with the e-collar, but the paperwork they sent her home with indicates that it could come off after 7 days. I left it on hoping it would prevent her from pulling out her stitches until she goes in this weekend to have them removed, but is it possibly the e-collar causing her loss of appetite? I'm really worried that she might have some sort of infection so I'm bringing her back to the vet later today, but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this, and if so what caused it

Okay so we just got back from the vet and unfortunately they did not help at all. All they did was remove the stitches and e-collar then charge me an extra $65 to take her temperature and show me the door . Any tips or advice on how to get her to start eating again would be helpful :C I'm hoping it's just stress...

Well, you first of need to find something that she will eat -- regardless of what you may have been feeding her. She definitely needs nutrients in order for her to heal. She could be stressed out, but it should not last more than a few days. If you are concerned, then you find another vet. Where I live, there are several within a few miles of my house ..you need to have complete confidence in the doctor that treats your cat -- and if you feel they were blowing you off, then you need to find a doctor who will take her concerns seriously.
