Our 14 year old siamese female is slowly losing weight. 2 years ago she
received radioactive iodine therapy for an overactive thyroid. Blood and
urine tests have revealed no thyroid or other problems. I have been
giving her Cosequin daily for arthritis prevention, does anyone know if
this could be causing her weight loss or have any other ideas?

Was she checked for chronic renal failure? Maybe your vet is missing
something?

Have you heard of feline-AIDS? It's very popular amongst cats who run
outside at night getting boinked in the AZZ by other cats. If so, do
the cat a favor and kill him now.
