Hello! Weight loss can be from diabetes, thyroid disease, even cancer. Or, can just be due to a new food, or increased exercise! The limping may well be a separate problem, due to an injury to the limb. I would suggest that your take Emrys in to see his vet, to have a check up, and possibly some blood tests. Best of luck!
