When your cat has losing weight in Greenville, SC, climate and lifestyle matter. Cats with weight loss in humid subtropical climate homes may hide illness until year-round warmth and high humidity or pollen, mold, and grass allergens peak in spring and fall push them over the edge. Indoor cats still pick up fleas where heartworm, fleas, and intestinal parasites stay active most of the year.
Weight loss in cats is never normal unless you are actively managing obesity. Unintentional weight loss commonly indicates hyperthyroidism, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or cancer — particularly in cats over 8 years old. TelaVets licensed veterinarians assess Greenville cats via secure video — $65 flat fee, often same day — and tell you when to stay home vs go in person.
