As I have posted before, I have been worried about Ellie's thinness for some time, though three vets have pronounced her healthy on the basis of external examination only. But last week a friend of mine who hadn't seen her for a few months exclaimed on how much weight she had lost. So I insisted on a full panel of blood tests to see if they could find anything wrong, including a look for hyper-thyroidism, although she is only 3 years old. I have just left her at the vet's, and have to pick her up in three hours. Poor girl is terrified - of all my cats she hates being alone the most and she cried all the way there. Usually when travelling she shares a carrier with Persil. She was frantically trying to get out of the carrier when I left her, and I felt awful. Please send some vibes for her, that she is OK and that they find out what is wrong and that it is easily put right. My gut instinct tells me there is something.
