Increased thirst (polydipsia) and weight loss in an older cat are significant symptoms that should prompt a veterinary visit. While aging can bring changes, these specific signs often point to underlying medical conditions rather than just 'being old.' Common causes include kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes. Early diagnosis and management of these conditions can significantly improve your cat's quality of life and longevity. Please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for a thorough check-up and bloodwork.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
