My dog is losing weight, very thirsty, and hungry. Is he sick?

Question

Fieny was 23-25 lb... about 3 months ago he started losing weight. He weighs about 12 lbs (bony) now, very thirsty and hungry. I put him on all natural diabetic drops, high protein diet a month ago. He doesn't seem to be getting nor worse. I can not afford to take him to the Vets for testing. I am hoping you can help me make him better... the first picture below is recent & the one in the chair is what he used to look like. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 12 years old

Unfortunately without doing some basic tests it will be impossible to help you, he might be suffering from hyperthyroidism, lymphoma or other cancer. a blood test would be the very least that needs to be done. If money is an issue please contact a cat charity in your area of living, they can help with costs of treatment in many cases. Many vets also have payment plans, and there is also a credit company that will land you money toward vet bills ( https://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/) .
