[quote=Anonymous]We've dealt with that with two cats. With the first, he died within a few months of liver cancer. With the second, we found out that she's hyperthyroid, so she gets thyroid pills now. But she hasn't regained weight fast enough, so we did bloodwork for gastrointestinal issues, which revealed small intestinal disease. That could be a long lasting chronic thing, or it could be lymphoma. The only way to tell is a biopsy. She's on prednisone now too which has helped with the weight loss, and time will tell. So: Thyroid, inflammatory bowel, lymphoma or other cancer, diabetes, kidney issues... Prepare for your vet to do bloodwork and possibly an x-ray to look for any signs of tumors. Good luck. This stuff isn't fun. :([/quote]
