Vita could use some PT prayers; UPDATE # 14

[Scooter's Mom]

Hugs and prayers for Vita and for you.

Sure hope that Vita feels better very soon. Maybe she's lost weight because she's older now. My Boo is very thin, too, but his checkup turned up nothing but 18 years of wear and tear. We'll pray that the same is true for pretty Vita. Keep the faythe.

Received the lab results, mostly everything looks like the infections we found are the cause of the weight loss. With a sore tooth and an ear infection making swallowing hurt, she wasn't eating well. We are redoing the thyroid test to clarify that one, as it was so close to borderline.

So she is one the mend, with her antibiotics and ear drops.

Thank you all!

It's quite common that older cats lose weight - it's mostly muscles. Fister is getting smaller too. I hope Vita will feel better after having antibiotics and ear drops for a little while.

Give her some kisses and headbumpies from us, please!

I'm glad to hear Vita doesn't have kidney problems. With older cats that can be a reason of weight loss too. But of course her little teeth gave her problems to swallow. Filou had 7 lbs when he was healthy and is now down to 6,5. He (on top of his kidneys) has tooth problems as well and he doesn't eat then.
So with a kitty over ten we have to watch them all the time They are so good in hiding their ailments.

Michael the Dream Cat was losing weight, but after the root canal hes doing all right now, and is slowly gaining strength again.
I am having this done for JJJ3 , as hes thin, and winces sometimes even with the food all mushed up!!
We are praying that Vita will be well and happy soon.
