We offer nutritional education and monitoring as part of our regular examination process. If recent weight loss or gain is the main reason for your pet’s visit, then our team would proceed with a rigorous discussion. We would discuss your pet’s dietary, gastrointestinal habits, and if needed lab diagnostics to determine the root cause. We must find the underlying cause for your pet’s problems before we can offer a remedy. Cats tend to have a fast thyroid problem and lose weight.
