Neutered Male, Approx 4yrsold,weight Loss.

[Florrieberry]

Hi, our little fella Harvey, has been losing weight over last couple of months, approx 150g. Behaving normally, appears to be eating normally, chasing the girls as normal (lives with 5). Goes to very good specialist exotic vet.
Nil found on exam, had GA to take bloods, Slight hook on back tooth rasped, bloods fine except very slight raised neutrophils ( upper limit should be 9, he is 10). Monitoring to see if tooth rasp makes any difference, if more weight loss / no gain to have scan to check liver. No weight change this week. Any ideas please? Thanks x

@Florrieberry Was a sample of his poop been tested for fungal issues? Or has his thyroid been tested?

One of my boys had a fungal issue last year, diagnosed from a poop sample. He had a course of Itrafungal and it stopped the weight loss.

Spoke to Vet, will trial some thyroid treatment and taking some poops in for testing. Fingers crossed.
