    thoughts for Bouncer please....hopeful update #30

    Our grand old lady goes to the white coats tomorrow morning. For about the past 2 years she has been losing weight. Since it was so gradual the vet wasn't concerned, she is almost 14 (I think) so he said it happens as they age...lately that weight loss has just zoomed. I swear all of a sudden she is nothing but furr and bones and she is moving so stiff it makes me hurt to watch her. She is still eating, drinking, piddling, etc but still I'm scared....this is my husband's heart kat and it is really going to hit him if we lose her. So PT thoughts and prayers respectfully requested please....

    I'm so sorry to hear that she's been losing so much weight. Hopefully whatever is causing this can be easily treated and I hope it's nothing serious. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

    Prayers for sweet Bouncer are coming from me. I hope it is nothing but age. It is a good sign she is still eating and drinking normally. I have one that is about 13 and he is starting to lose weight, but he eats, drinks, and plays normally and the vet said that is normal. Maybe she just needs some dental work.

    Prayers for beautiful Bouncer that she can be easily fixed up! I agree with katladyd - could be something about her teeth.

    She is so pretty and looks like such a lovebug!

    Keeping her in my thoughts... I hope the vet will find out what's wrong, and that it turns out to be something easily treatable!

    What a beautiful girl Bouncer is. I hope she will put on some weight. Have you asked your vet about a different diet? Perhaps it has something to do with teeth as some suggested.

    Gentle scritches to sweet Bouncer and good thoughts that she will be with you for a long time yet.

    Sorry to hear Bouncer is losing alot of weight. Hopefully it's just an overactive thyroid (common in older cats) and it's easily treateable with daily medication. Keep us posted, our thoughts are with you two.

    Perfect diagnosis! She is now on meds for thyroid but we can all deal with that. The really strange coincidence was a gentleman brought in an orange furrball while we were there, same thing. He had been losing weight and the guy wanted to get him checked, he was afraid he was going to lose him right then and there. Exact same diagnosis! So it was a happy day for all of us. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Once again I say PTers are the best group of people on the planet!
