14 yr old cat stopped eating, & only drinks very little milk.
blood tests show no problems with liver, kidneys, thyroid. Vet says she is anemic and urine PH is high. No fleas, and we have never treated her for fleas. Indoor cat. heart and lungs seem ok. No throat obstruction, and teeth are fine. She acts interested when we are opening a can of food, but then she sniffs it, and walks away. She is with vet now and being hydrated, they gave her something to speed up metabolism to get appetite, but it didn't work.

You're doing the right thing taking her to the vet. I hope they find out what is wrong with her. Sometimes kitties are just finiky and decide they don't like their food anymore. You can try different foods. Maybe you can try another vet for another opion. Don't give up trying to find the problem and good luck. I hope they can find the problem.

I have been told that milk is not good for cats. Perhaps you can water it down, then switch to just water. A raw diet might do the trick. Look for a holistic or natural vet. Dr. Karen Becker has a website and much info about diet. Cats and dogs have been eating meat for thousands of years. Much of their common ailments can be relieved by going back to what evolution has accustomed their bodies to.
Hope your kitty gets well.
Oh there is also a product called KMR - kitten milk replacement - get the powder form (add water). its good for kittens but also for adult cats
