My female, calico 13 yrs old is losing her beautiful fur on tummy, rear legs
and parts of tail. She is also very bony, 10lbs. Her appetite is very good
and she eats well.
3 vets says she is ok. But she doesn't act like herself and I now my baby.
Why is she losing fur in these odd places and she is so bony,meaning one can
feel her bones. no fat.
She is an indoor cat, spaded, declared front, she was rescued at 2yrs of
age.
??? Anyone have any FAT FOOD to give her?? Your suggestions are welcomed
much. THX

Have you had a Thyroid screen run  her? Those are
symptoms of thyroid problems.
