[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the latter stages of life include weight loss and some unwellness.  Rather than illness that is curable or a specific syndrome, there may be value in looking at your cat's weight loss and upset stomach as symptoms of old age and decline.  Can your vet treat those symptoms -- loss of appetite, nausea and help make him more comfortable?

At the end of an animal's life, there is often a balance between comfort and the symptoms the animal is sustaining.   I agree that your cat is not at the stage where he needs to be out of pain, but what you are seeing -- weight loss and inability to eat -- is what many pet owners see at the end of life.  It's not unusual.[/quote]

This one: that is amazing! I can't believe how something that simple has NEVER been looked at, or mentioned. I am guilty of not figuring out that possibility too. Who ever you are, thank you for your help. I am not even going to try to make any sense of how I too did not think about it. [/quote]
