My cat has a disease called pemphigus (probably not right spelling) pronounced pem-fi-gus. Her immune system produces too many white blood cells. She got REALLY sick and she went all scabby and lost some hair. She is MUCH better now but she eats too much even though we have cut back. She is so fat that even her stomach is pink where her hair has rubbed away. Her hair will never grow back because of all the drugs she is on. She takes leukeran and some other drugs that help. In total, she has 3 drugs. What should i do about her fat and her constant eating??

You need to make sure she is on a calorie restricted diet, and then actually measure out her food in 2-3 meals over the day. Measuring is important, what looks like a 1/4 cup to you is probably way more than is needed, and most cats should not be fed more than 1/4 cup per meal.

the only thing u can do is put down just so much food at one time,say half cup, 2 or 3 times a day and don't give her any more than that each day and she will loose weight.
and then check with ur vet

I would talk to your vet about it because it might be difficult because of the drugs she's on. You might have to put her on special diet food that has less calories. But I would call and ask the vet because there could be things you need to be careful with because of her meds.
Good luck!!!

I'm sorry, I never heard of it, but follow the vet's advice.
