My brother told me it was $110 just for the vet visit. Which I can believe since he lives in a city but it's still pretty high.

This is just for a normal office visit....which is why he is bringing the cat up here to this area. I think if he looked a little harder he might be able to find one out his area but I was more than happy to tell him of my vet since I really trust her with my cats.

My sister and brother are different about their cats than I am with mine. If I noticed something I'd be taking my cat to every different vet possible and he is trying just I don't think as much as I would have but I have to give him credit for trying now.

Apparently the cat has been losing weight for quite a while now, the longer that goes on without the cause being treated the more damage can happen to organs. I'd recommend someone get the cat to the vet, or another vet ASAP.

Drinking lots of water and peeing alot can be something quite serious from diabetes to kindey failures to hyperthyroid. It is not something to sit back and just 'watch', it is something requiring a vet visit as soon as it's noticed. The hair loss may or may not be connected with the weight loss.

Please make the earliest appt. for this cat you can get and allow them to at least run some basic lab tests to determine the problem.

Please keep us posted on what happens. I hope they can help the kitty get back to purrrfect health again.
