HI there-
I have a 10 yr old cat, Trouble who's first symptoms were weight loss. She was always a larger cat and suddenly we started to notice weight loss and increased drinking. We took her to the vet...3 blood tests, urine test and xrays later we still don't have an answer. This is what we know:
-she has elevated proteins in her blood, (poly not mono)
-we've started to give her tuna and salmon every 2 hours and she's gained 2 lbs because she's ravenous.
-she's starting to show lethargy, weakness in her hind legs (no longer jumping, running and has a bit of a swagger) more often-not all the time.
-weak meow, sometimes
Vets reco are to see an internist or to start steroid treatment.
Anybody have a similar experience or can offer up some friendly advice?
thank you.
