CATDOLL : My cat is so thin, what's going on?

Cats being too thin may be caused by a variety of reasons, including malnutrition, digestive problems, parasitic infections, endocrine disorders or chronic diseases. The following are some common factors that may cause cats to be too thin:

1. Improper diet: Cats may not be getting enough nutrients, or they may not be interested in food.

2. Digestive system problems: such as gastrointestinal inflammation, pancreatitis or liver disease, may cause cats to be unable to absorb enough nutrients.

3. Parasitic infection: such as roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, etc., will consume the nutrients in the cat's body and affect its appetite.

4. Endocrine disorders: such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes, will accelerate metabolism and cause cats to lose weight.

5. Chronic diseases: Chronic health problems such as kidney disease, heart disease or other chronic health problems may cause cats to lose appetite and lose weight.

If your cat is too thin and has been thin for a long time, please take it to the veterinarian for examination. The veterinarian can determine the cause of the cat's weight loss through a series of tests and provide appropriate treatment plans. At the same time, make sure to provide your cat with a high-quality, balanced diet to help it return to a healthy weight.
