I am sorry to hear about Tessa’s weight loss. Things that can cause this include liver and kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, infection, parasites, heart disease and other. Any sudden, noticeable weight loss definitely merits a visit to the vet who will likely want to do bloodwork to help determine the cause. Best of luck to you and Tessa!
