When we first got Sissy she was a skinny, boney mess. We had all the blood work and stool run by my vet with all tests negative.

I got a vitamin supplement and sprinkled it on her dinner with the stinkiest paramean cheese on it I could find. A few weeks later I notice signs of tapeworm in the bed and took it and stool sample to the vet. Yes, tapeworms so we had to give her meds to rid her of these. After that she began to gain and is now 9yrs old and 9lbs.

You have gotten good advise from the YT group. I would get heR to the vet, get a stool sample, ask about a supplement, try the parm cheese or coconut oil on her food.

Keep us posted on how she is doing.
