I was cuddling Tia the other day & she seemed a bit bony, weighed her & she'd lost 70grams in 2 weeks. I fenced her off, just in case she had slowed down her eating. I am giving her large bowls of veg. I stopped there nuggets about 6-8 months ago. Her weight is very much up & down, but she has almost gained the weight she lost. I can't feel any lumps or bumps. She'll going to the vet Monday or Tuesday depends on my vet being on. Does anyone have any ideas.
 
@Tiamolly123 Increasing veg can put them off eating as much hay so maybe that's a contribution.

As Claire mentions it could be heat related.

If she is eating okay then I wouldn't worry too much at the moment but if it continues downwards then a vet visit definitely won't harm.
 
Thanks for answering, I think you may be right about the heat. I weighed them all today & they've all lost.
Why doesn't have that effect on me. Lol
