Hi there, in desperate need of answers.
I have a 14 year old long haired cat named Dittle. A few months ago, he became consitpated and was quickly treated...
Recently he pulled all of the hair at the base of his tail out, along with the back of his legs. We related this to an allergy to the beef flavored canned wet food, Wellness. Once we changed it to chicken he seemed back to normal.
Over the course of the last month or so he began gaining weight again after the constipation issue. I thought he was holding all of the weight in his stomach until I noticed it was large. Still able to palpate it, he does not get mad. He's still eating same amount, still going to the bathroom normally as I check his litter box daily.
He is the only animal in our house and does not go outdoors.
I am running to the vet this afternoon but what tests shall I demand be ran for him?
I've tried to avoid research, as I'm not ready for bad news.
Thanks so much in advance, hope it's not serious....
