Former vet behavior and neurology nurse, currently working ER. It could just be cognitive decline, and a behaviorist (a DVM, not some nonsense/trainer) can recommend brain health supplements and possibly prescribe sleeping pills. Or it could be something more serious, like they had a stroke, and prognosis varies. Does she take anything for the nausea or arthritis? Have you had her kidneys evaluated recently? It could also be end stage renal failure. What anxiety meds has she taken? Were they prescribed by a GP? She may be in pain. And a cat not eating is an emergency. No matter what, if it's more than you can deal with or afford, im sure you gave her a long and wonderful life, and if you can't help her, there's nothing wrong about letting her go ❤️. I really wish you the best.
