In October I took Garfield to the vet because he had lost alot of weight. He used to be overweight.
So they drew blood, and did a urinalysis. And said that he had alot of protein, and sugar in his urine, but his blood was okay.
So at first they were thinking he is diabetic.
After furhter testing they said he was really dehydrated, and had a kidney infection. So he had to stay overnight, on an IV, they gave him a shot of antibiotic, and I had to give him pills when he came home.
The final diagnosis was Protien Losing Nephropathy.
Now 6 months later he hasn't put on any weight, but has a ravenous appetite, but normal thirst drive.
I feed him one can of Fancy Feat in the morning, and free choice Chicken Soup dry. If I feed him more canned he has loose stool.
