Our feline leukemia positive kitty (9.5 yrs. old now - we have had since a baby) Has a Huge Appetite..Cannot stop eating but, he is All Bones - we can count his ribs and
verterbrae through his long fur - we feel just terrible..
His stomach gets distended but he goes to the bathroom just fine. His gums have Always been pale. She has put him on Prednisone type pill - we have tried for the last
week - I thought he might have a Thyroid issue but she
said his heart rate was only 170 and Thyroid would be 240? He loves to be pet and held. He walks ok but is
going to get weak I am afraid..What can we do?????
What do you think is going on with Tiger? Thank you very much..

Optional Information:
Age: 9; Male; Breed: Tabby striped long haired cat

Already Tried:
I have taken him to the Vet but she told me to get another opinion if I wanted. So I am hoping you can help me. Thank you - Colleen
