Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. First, I would ensure that she is being fed the proper amount. Most foods will provide a feeding guide on the back of the food or can that gives you the most recommended feeding amount per age and weight. If you are already feeding an appropriate amount then I would recommend having her examined by a vet and have testing done such as a feline leukemia and feline aids test to ensure she is not positive for either and a general blood panel to check organ function and see if there is any indication there is an active infection. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
