I am new to this community and am looking to see if anybody might have an idea what is wrong with my cat. Snowball is 13 and we have had her since she was 1. She is an indoor/outdoor cat and has been her entire life. She has always been petite, but in the last 6-12 months she has lost an abnormal amount of weight. We live right next to the woods and she has always enjoyed hunting, she would catch chipmunks, squirrels, etc (sorry if that bothers anyone, not much you can do when she’s outside), but lately her mobile skills have declined enormously. She has been to the vet 3 times in the past month, at first they thought it was allergies, then they gave her steroids. They have taken bloodwork and tested a stool sample and said everything looked fine. She is to the point where she is having trouble walking, she almost moves in slow motion. 100% different to the way she was just a year ago. Other than that her symptoms have been cloudy eyes, gunk/build up around her eyes, nose, and mouth. A very harsh cough that comes and goes. Extreme weight loss. I refuse to believe this is just allergies, as quite honestly it looks right she’s ready to fall over and not get back up. I am going to attach 2 pictures I took the other day before she went to the vet. She has since been cleaned up but she goes back to the vet this weekend so if anybody has any idea on what this could be please reply. My family and I love Snowball and I do believe if we figure out what she is sick with and if there’s a way to treat it that she could have several more good years in her. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.
