  1. My cat who is now 18 years old was diagnosed with kidney disease in October of 2020. Since then he has been on a special diet and in April of this year he got blood tested, and the results for his kidney functions were better than before. The vet also said that all of his other results were normal including blood glucose. However, at the end of March of this year his 14 year old sister had to be euphonized. Since then he has not been eating as well as he normally does and has lost a bit of weight. What can I do?

  2. The problem is how EXPENSIVE it is. The blood draw costs around $400-$500. An abdominal X-ray costs me around the same amount. I wish they can make it cheaper. Plus the medications are also expensive.

  3. My cat weight is very loosing and she daily losemotion so pliz saying reason and solutions❤

  4. My cat is 6 yrs old.

  6. My cat lost a lot of weight l, drinks water normally, eats normally and uses the bathroom normally and she’s only about 3 years old should I take her to the vet? She also throws up pretty commonly I would say once a week

  7. my kitten is three months old and I took it to the vet and they said, give in chicken and calcium liquid to their food. she is losing her muscle and they said that she is too skinny tog et vaccines .5 kg for a three month kitten. is there anything else I can do?

  8. My cat is 12,,and shes bleeding from her rectum and losing weight. What's wrong with her? I'm heartbroken.

  9. My cat is 2 and half year old she is losing her weight drastically I have a male cat also but he is very healthy and gain weight. I don’t know what is the reason for that she lose weight so much…

  10. Most people can't afford these types of deals with cats you go in there and it's more than a person you come out with a for $500 bill every time you walk out of one of their offices and almost no matter what they do it's debilitative if you have a lot of cats just

  11. Most animal just suffer and die because no one can afford these elevated prices and there's no cheap route there's no like nurses that can do it like they do in the medical why don't they train people to be like a nurse aides or veterinarian AIDs that can do most of these procedures the cheap procedures real quick for you you know just give me an eyeball and say hey no guarantee but this is what I think try this better than just taking her home dog home and dying when you have no money it's the saddest thing profession

  12. This guy wanted to help the population in general he would tell us how to get cheaper medicine how to do things ourselves

  13. I have a 15 yr old cat his dental treatment alone was £600..i dont get why we have to take out a second morgage just to get our baby's seen tested and treated …It just doesn't seem right 😢

  14. My cat is rapidly losing so much weight. It's hard to watch 😢. He has a vet appointment in a few days. I pray that he's okay. I love him so much. 😢😢

  15. My cat is approximately 9, and he is losing small amounts of weight each time the vet weighs him. I'm talking ounces over the 6 years he's been with me. He's gone from 8.5 pounds to 7.3 pounds. He is a fussy eater like most cats, but if the food is something he likes he can go through 2 cans plus dry a day. So I'm another cat owner who is facing a $ 300 dollar cost for lab tests. I love my cat dearly and would do anything to make sure he's healthy, but $ 300 to tell me nothing is wrong? I trust my vet, but in my case, money is an object.
