Hi folks -- long-time lurker here... I'm having the same problem with my Wallace. He's 10 in July, half-Maine Coon tiger-tuxedo tabby, used to be 20 pounds. Now he's starved himself down to 9 pounds, and up until last Thursday, the vet was mystified. All his bloodwork is normal. (He's not one of

Jean, I really pray it is something much less scary than cancer, cancer is scary but with today's vets and the oncology or internal specialists, pets are doing much better surviving cancer, some going into remission for many years and eventually passing from old age or other age related

Hi Jean, I'm sorry Wallace is having such a time! One thought I had that may not be an issue, but it's worth mentioning: I did think hyperT because I have one at home. When they did his bloodwork, did they do a T4 test (or maybe it's free T4)? I know some thyroid tests will come back normal,
