HOpefully it is just a dental issue - and you can find some dental healthy dry food or treats that will help prevent a recurrence.

PT Prayers on the way!

While I was reading your post, I was also thinking that it could be dental problems. My Storm had to have a tooth removed last year and he's been eating better ever since. I hope that Taz's weight loss is just due to the fact that he's not eating as much as he normally does. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Feline greenies are a good treat to give him to help his teeth. I give each of mine 6 pieces every night. I've also just started putting Liquid Oral Care in their water too.

Thank you both for your responses. I am hoping that is it only dental stuff. But I have looked at his teeth, as best as I can, and gently pushed on them to see if they are sensitive, but it doesn't seem to bother him. But it could be a back tooth that I REALLY can't get to.
A couple of years ago when he had to have his fang pulled, it was obvious what it was and the tooth was loose and he'd flinch when I touched it.
UUGGHH!!! I still have to wait another week!!! I could take him in early...but he is due for some shots, so I figured I'd get it all done at once.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

hey girl im so sorry i just saw this, i have not been on for couple of days i will email you why, big nightmare..lol anyway i really hope he gets to feeling better, it very probably is teeth, i know bei-jing is not eating normal either, i noticed she is not chewing like she should all the time. so we will have to have the vet check. waiting can be so hard especially when us "mommies" know something is not right!!! i will keep sending prayers and positive thoughts your way. let me know how taz is doing.
talk to you soon

I am sure he will be fine...he has you as his mom.. I cant imagine him being 14 pounds though, now he is only one cat instead of 2.. Let me know what the vets says.
