Yeah.. if he is an older kitty, thyroid
might be it.. but I have one kitty, whose name is Someone suggested to do the testing
created by Alfred Pretcher, DVM (if you are interested in – I can send

steroid..) Anyway,, for The first step is a whole panel of the
blood work to see what’s going on – would you post it here if you
get it? I am curious of his condition personally. hideyo From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi I am posting this for a friend who
rescues in "I have a
cat, Kitty Boy, who is VERY skinny!! He hasn't been playful either,
and I know there is definitely something very wrong!! He's always hungry!
His belly is big in comparison to the rest of him! I mean, when I pick
him up, I can feel his bones!! Yesterday and today more than ever, he's
been following me around and crying for food. I've tried not to feed him
as much as I had been. It's like he's starving! Sure would like to
know if you've ever seen this before." I suggested she
needs urgent bloods for Kidney, liver, Thyroid, FIV & FeLV and test for wet
form FIP- I personally am suspicious of thyroid but said that it can be lots of
other stuff or maybe even cancer. Don't know how old
this kittie is but have asked her to let me know. I also told her
not to cut down his food and to give him more to avoid fatty liver - and if he
is lethargic and burning calories faster than he can take in then he needs more
energy going in. Has anyone got any
thoughts or further comments on this one? Michelle,
