Most medicical treatments for cachexia that I know of are horrid (megestrol comes to mind).
Has this person ever considered adding phenelzine? That often promotes eating in people (hydrazine sulphate itself is still, albeit controversially, used for cachexia in cancer by some doctors). From a strictly psychopharm perspective, this person may want to try diazepam. If diazepam is IVed into a cat, it will start to eat ravenously almost involuntarily. This treatment is used often by veterinarians for many animals, but I haven't heard about it used in people.
Of course, I advocate smoking high-grade sensimilla (marijuana)!
