My 14 year old cat, Ben, lost 5 pounds (from 13 to 8) over a few months.
He seems healthy. He is active and has a good appetite. His blood work and x-rays are all good. The vet ran more bloodwork (a second type of thyroid test and cobalamin/folate test - waiting on results). She feels that his food is not being absorbed.
If he keeps losing weight she wants to do exploratory surgery. I would be willing to get some type of scan (ultrasound, catscan, etc) before resorting to surgery.
Anyone ever have this situation?
Thanks Much - Scott
