UPDATE: We went to see Dr. Patricia this morning. She doesn't seem that worried about Lacie's weight as she thinks it's well within the normal range. She took blood and is doing a panel in her office and also will be sending out for additional tests. Her teeth look good, her coat looks good, her eyes, heart, etc. etc. all look good. Dr. P thinks that it could be the change in food and agrees about having an additional mid-day meal fed to Lacie to see if this helps. She will call me back later today with preliminary lab results but it will be a week before the other results are in.
I'm getting concerned about my Lacie. She seems to be losing a lot of weight.
I do try to keep her pretty lean because of her LPs, but she's down almost 3/4 lbs from her normal weight -- and I haven't had her on a diet. (She's down to 5 lbs and should be at almost 6 lbs.)
She's eating all of her meals just fine. She's on Dr. Harvey's. Neither Tilly nor Secret have been losing weight on this diet -- in fact, I have to be careful that they don't gain weight.
Other than the weight lose, Lacie seems fine, so I'm a little perplexed as to what the problem could be.
So, I'm making an appointment with her vet, Dr. Patricia for next week. I don't think it's urgent, but I am concerned.
If you have any ideas on what could be causing this, please let me know.
