    I definitely think a vet visit and thorough check is in order. It's the wrong season for her to completely blow her coat, and losing that much weight so quickly isn't good either. Better safe than sorry, sweetie. Give Molly a kiss for me as an apology if she hates vet visits!

    Awww, poor thing. I agree that taking her to the vet would be a good idea. Your vet could run some tests and if it's a behavioral issue (as opposed to a health issue) your vet may have some suggestions for that too. I hope she feels better soon!

    Approx. how much does bloodwork cost? (Just wondering; my parents will probably make ME pay for it because they aren't as concerned as me).

    Parents I know how that goes, I have to pay my parents back for Micki's bills..and his ended up being right around $900 Working 20 hours a week at $5.15 an hour just doesn't cut it.

    Micki's blood tests were around $34 :/

    That's not bad. I thought it would have been $50+

    The vet I work for, the basic bloodwork is around $50. We are also a walk-in clinic, so it's a tad more expensive. I would recommend doing bloodwork. Talk to your vet about a thyroid check, too. Hairloss and weightloss can be a sign of a thyroid problem. But, basic bloodwork first.
