Cat vomiting, thirsty, hair loss, tired. Is it diabetes or something else?

Question

My cat has been sick for a few years now... she pukes, has hair loss, dry skin, tired all the time, gobbles food just to puke, thirsty all the time. I'm thinking diabetes... but she isn't overweight... I don't want to keep guessing does it sound like diabetes or something else?

Diabetes could be an issue with your cat, especially if she has lost weight recently. Other diseases to consider include hyperthyroidism, renal failure, and cancer, all which could cause the symptoms you are describing. I would recommend taking your cat to the vet to be examined and have blood work performed. Blood work would go a long way in helping to determine what is going on with Gracie. I hope this helps.
