Very likely tapeworms. Look up home remedies.

Hyperthyroidism. Sort of common in middle-aged cats. Should be treated otherwise it will lead to diabetes, heart failure, and death. Happened to my beautiful Tiger Wood (no jokes, please).

Two main types of treatment are drugs and/or radiation. Yes, seems weird and possibly expensive. We never treated Tiger because we didn't know he had it until too late.

Good luck with your cat.

fucking retard. He's dying. Probably cancer or some other degenerative disease. If you can't afford to take care of your animals give them away for fucks sake and don't take anymore.

OP, see if there's a sliding scale vet in the area. Had an awesome cat a few years back, at 11 he developed a kidney disorder.

It sucked and the treatment was worse. But if it's a true companion, you need to find out what's up. Don't wait until it's too late, that will haunt you like a mofo, trust me.

He has domesticated animal he calls a pet but he can't afford to take care of it. Next he won't be feeding it if he even is now.

im sorry about your kitty.

op, if it is hyperthyroidism the meds are really inexpensive. there are orgs which will can pay or help pay vet costs, local vets sometimes have in-house grants.

people here may pay your vet directly...i woud help out, some others may, too.

the meds for hyperthyroidism are really inexpensive and keeps an undelying issues in check (kidneys, heart) vs. radiocat
when buying nethimazole (or whatever hyperthyroid med the vet prescribes, ask for a big bottle of like 100 pills.....it costs the same as when they dispense @20 pills...its crazy, but if you dont ask you will hever know about how its more cost effective or the same price to buy bulk vs. smaller prescription

Re: My cat is so skinny,he's a bone rack although we feed him like crazy
2 things come to mind. Hyperthyroidism (there is medicine
that is a cream and you can rub it in his ear--super easy)
Diabetes is the 2nd. Both of those require a simple blood
test at the vet. Not saying it couldn't be something else.
Could be as simple as a bad case of round worm. I would
call an animal shelter and see if they have any info about
local vets that would take an extended payment plan so you
could get the proper treatment for him.

op just asked for advice, dont be like that...times are hard and not everyone has disposable income yet the kitty has a nice home and is alive.....better than shelter odds!

op's cat doesnt have cancer.

op it cld be parasite(s), could be hyperthyroidism, couod be a case of ibs (got into some bad food might have inflammation causing food not to absorb / malabsorption, which is also inexpensive to take care...vitamin supplement and pred if needed short term)

you do want to ensure it isnt diabetes .... whichnit probably isnt....that is also inexpensive bc they take so little insulin

keep us posted, op

will pray for your kitty
