If she is eating more, and losing weight, have the vet check for hyperthyriodism. It is treatable with meds.

I wish someone had told me about the anti anxiety meds for my Bob, I would have loved to try them but I didn't know about them and the vet never said a word. That's upsetting to me now but I also have a 16 yr old cat and if that ever happens to her at least I will have a clue this time.

Thank you for asking. I took her to another vet and he checked for UTI, thyroid, diabetes, and kidney problems... all came back clear.

I got a litterbox for every room in the house and she has not had any accidents.... however, keeping the boxers away from the litterboxes is proving very challenging. I have been trying to keep them in areas where the dogs cant get to them, but somehow they find away... Violet doesnt care for cat poo, Ivy likes it better than her food... I just dont get it.

I have to figure out how be creative where the cat can get to the boxes, but the dogs cant and then everthing should be fine.
