I have a 6 year old Calico who has been to the vet on and off for the past month. I just feel she isn't healthy, however so far we can't find anything. We have done blood work, thyroid tests and so on. I plan to bring her back to the vet tomorrow. Just want to see if anyone has any ideas. Here are her symptoms:
Coat is not taken care of. When you pull on the coat/skin it feels dehydrated (vet showed me this).
Eyes just look a little off.
She has lost weight.
She has an excessive appetite. Will eat anything put in front of her and begs as though she is a starving ally cat.
No energy.
VERY vocal now. Constantly is meowing at us.
This morning she had her newest symptom;
A wet back end. Her tail, and legs surrounding her bottom are soaked. Our maine coon we lost two years ago did this when in kidney failure. So I am a little worried.
The only test I can think of that has not been done so far is a urinalysis. I plan to ask for one of these this week.
I can not tell you if she is urinating more frequently as we don't have a little box in the house. Cats have a cat door and have a litter box in the garage or go outside to use the restroom. She is one that prefers not using the litter box and having the great outdoors to do her business.
If anyone has any ideas on what this might be I would appreciate it. Three things the vet has ruled out that were common signs of her illness were : Feline Leukemia (not cancer though), diabetes, and thyroid disease. We have also treated her for any type of worm. I believe the blood work we did was the one of the cheaper end the last time we did it.
Thank you in advance.
