Usually change in behaviour, swollen mammary gland with milk production, loss of appetite (rarely with consistent weight gain or loss), symptoms of mothering activity, nesting, and self-nursing. Bella's problem seems slightly different. If weight loss is more than 10-15 % of total body weight a check up at your local vets is needed.
