¿Por qué está ADELGAZANDO tu gato? 🐈⚖️

That's the first sign that we can start acting as quickly as possible. In addition, we can't forget about kidney disease here. When cats, kidneys start to fail, they may start to eat a little less or even eat normally. But you may also start to see vomiting and weight loss. Cats that have chronic kidney disease also drink a lot of water and urinate much more than before. They pee very light and do it in large quantities. And finally, cancer, in this case, I can't tell you much more because it will also depend on the type of tumor, the type of cancer. But one of the signs that is usually seen in almost all cats is that they lose weight. Okay, I know I just dropped a bombshell with the subject of cancer. And now I don't want you to be watching the video and start saying, oh, my cat is losing weight, my cat has cancer. No, no. Just because it loses weight, we can't say that. This is an indication that will help you take it to the vet sooner so that they can do the necessary tests to find out why it is losing weight. As you can see, there are many causes that can cause your cat to lose weight. What I wanted with this video to do is for you to pay close attention to all these details so that you can give all the information possible to your vet. Also, and before finishing the video, I am going to leave you with another task. It is also important that if you live with a cat, you control its weight. For young, healthy cats, weighing them every three months is usually enough. However, for older cats, especially cats that are over seven years old, or cats that already have some type of chronic illness, it is important to do it more often. Once a month may be enough. How are you going to do it? Well, it is very simple. If you have a scale at home, you don't need to put the cat on it because it will not stay still. Instead, weigh yourself in your arms, get off the scale, put the cat down, and it will weigh you. If you subtract your weight from the weight you weighed with the cat, you will know how much your cat weighs and you will be able to write it all down on a chart. I recommend that you write it down because sometimes your head doesn't play tricks on you. How much does my loo weigh? 4 kilogram. This is a tip that I'm giving you because many people don't know how to weigh their cat. And as you can see, it's easier than it seems. It also gives us a lot of information that we veterinarians will really appreciate when you Come to the clinic. And by the way, if you have a scale at home and weigh the carrier without the cat inside and tell us how much the empty carrier weighs, we'll appreciate it. And we'll even give you a shout out, because at the clinic we usually weigh them with them inside the carrier, and that way we can know how much your cat really ways. And that's it for today's video.

Okay, well, how did we start? Okay, okay, well, that's enough for this too. And that's it for what we can consider less complex causes. Okay, well, okay. With less. It doesn't mean that they are less important, but less, that is to say, easier to solve, perhaps. Okay, yes, well, okay. And that's it for the milder causes, the ones that are less important either. I don't mean that they are of little importance, because they are important, of course. Okay, well. And that's it, sure, but I don't want to be saying every time you see it, go to the vet. Okay, it says it at the end. Sure. I say everything at the end of. Okay, yes, everything I'm going to tell you. Okay, but you're not going to make that face again. Okay. It's more like that, but okay, like I told you so, like. Like how annoying I am. No, no, it's not annoying. Everything I'm talking about. You're going to see cards here. Okay. Oh, wait, I was going to say. And in this case. But in this case, your cat is eating the usual queen. A warning. No, a warning. No, a clarification I'm going to put here that I say. Well, I started with homework. And I'm going to give you more homework. No, it's not for you to do at home. What are the other things? And you're going to be able to write everything down in a. And you're going to be able to write everything down in a table hormone. And that is why the cat is losing weight, because this hormone helps them to be active. These are cats that rest little and move a lot and are, well, constantly on alert. In addition, it is a disease that usually occurs in older cats from around 8 or 10 years of age. It may also be that your cat is losing weight due to intestinal problems. In this case, it is normal for you to also see diarrhea. And that is precisely what is causing your cat to lose weight. In this case, your cat is eating the usual all purpose food. Everything they eat is digested very well and it comes out pretty much as it goes in. In these cases it is also very important to make sure that cats are free of parasites. That is why you should follow a regular deworming regimen at home, as this will help your vet to better focus the diagnosis. Because there are many other causes of diarrhea. I am not referring to your cat having occasional diarrhea, but rather to your cat having it periodically episodes lasting two or three days, for example, that keep having it again or that keep having it for a very, very long time. Because that also makes the intestine forget to digest the food. What is called poor digestion and absorption occurs. And that is what makes your cat lose weight. And finally, let's talk about other causes. I've kind of put it in a bit of a catch all, because there are other causes that don't fit in with the above but are also very important, such as feline infectious diseases, leukemia and immunodeficiency. When these start to show their face, the cat starts to lose weight. That's why it's very important that if your cat has tested positive for leukemia and immunodeficiency, which is usually done at the clinic, you monitor their weight. Because if they start to lose weight.
