If 2 vets have already seen him then its probable no longer any of the obtrusive issues (worms, intestinal impaction). you will probable merely might desire to maintain attempting different vets. in the event that they nevertheless won't be able to decide what the issue is they might advise an exploratory laparotomy - fairly merely open him up and take a glance interior. I observed a cat as quickly as that had an quite tiny pyloric sphincter. The foodstuff bodily could no longer slot interior the direction of the tummy into the small gut. The cat grew to become into throwing up and dropping weight immediately. The vet surgically widened the sphincter and the cat recovered, in spite of if it did desire a particular weight loss plan. i'm no longer a vet and it particularly isn't any longer a diagnosis, basically a probability. basically a vet can provide you a definitive diagnosis. sturdy success to you and kitty.

It's very difficult for cats to lose weight for three reasons.
1. They're lazy by nature.
2. Most cats are picky eaters and won't eat new cat food.
3. Cats have unusual metabolisms and diets can kill them.
So first take your cat to the vet and see if you can get your cat to eat special diet food the vet can give you.
The cat will need to be monitored closely while on the diet because cats can develope a condition called hepatic lipidoses when their caloric intake is reduced.
Hepatic lipidosis can be a life threatening condition. It occurs because when cats start to lose weight, fat is transported from the fat cells to the liver to be broken down into energy. However in some cats, the liver doesn't break down the fat fast enough and the fat accumulates in the liver causing the liver to become fatty and damaging it.
So because of this, cats on diets need to be monitoed closely and they have to lose weight very slowly.

hang a live mouse in front of the treadmill and do this for about 20 minutes each day! But don't forget to feed the mouse so that he'll have enough stamina
