What are foods for cats that are low in vitamin A? My cat isn't eating anything and now she has lost weight. She drinks more water also.

Hello, thank you for your question about Chloe. Lack of appetite, weight loss, and increased thirst can be signs of many different underlying problems such as diabetes, GI disease, or a thyroid problem. I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian so that they can examine her and discuss performing bloodwork to look for an underlying problem. Hope this helps!
