My co-worker has an 8-year old calico named Daisy. She is a dear little thing. Patty took Daisy to the vet for a regular check-up and they realized Daisy had lost 4 pounds. She is tiny to begin with. The vet thought it was because she had a few bad teeth. The teeth were removed and Daisy has not gained any weight and will not eat much.
Patty's vet has done bloodwork, ultrasounds, checked Daisy's urine and numerous other tests. They told Patty that Daisy may have cancer but they have nothing to prove it with. They put Daisy on Prednisone to see if they could bring her weight up.
Patty's vet told her the only way they could determine if Daisy had cancer was to cut her open and see.
Any thoughts on this. I am stumped and Patty is very upset. She doesn't want Daisy to suffer and she knows from having her for 8 years that she isn't acting herself.
Oh, they also ruled out hyper or hypo thyroid.
