She’s losing weight

A few pounds off a ten-pound cat is pretty noticeable—and it’s a symptom you shouldn’t ignore. ‘If you notice signs of weight loss in your cat, first and foremost, double check with your veterinarian to be sure your cat has been properly screened for internal disease, dental health, and any other conditions that could be contributing to her weight loss,’ says veterinarian Heidi Cooley, senior manager client experience and advocacy at Banfield Pet Hospital. Make notes of what your kitty is eating and drinking and if they are eating more or less than usual to share with your vet.
