So my beautiful first ever cat is now 17 years old.
About 8 weeks ago I took him to vets as he’s lost a lot of weight, was always 6-7kg now he’s 4.2kg and I was really worried out him.
Vets did lots of tests and couldn’t find anything really wrong with him. Kidneys were fine, thyroid was fine, he’s not diabetic. We did discuss him having some X-ray on his back legs as they were worried about arthritis but he’d need sedation for it and due to quite a serious heart murmur both the vet & I were a bit reluctant.
He’s now feeling even lighter, you can feel every bump on his spine, he looks awful, his fur isn’t right, he’s not really grooming himself like he used to.
He is eating, toileting ok, still his normally cuddly self.
I will make another appointment for him in the morning.
Just wondered if anyone had any good ideas for me to ask the vets
