Two of the more common things that can cause wasting
are cardiomyopathy (esp. hypertrophic which usually
needs a chest ultrasound to be found) and lymphoma
(and for that at times an ultrasound can also be useful,
so if very recent blood work (CBC and a Chemistry Panel)
have not given direction then have a thoracic and abdominal
ultrasound done at the same time in case that may help.
There are meds like Prednisolone that decrease the nastiness
of lymphoma and give longer quality life,and sometimes
chemotherapy can be useful with the Tuft's Protocol being
comparatively gentle and very easy to give.
Cardiomyopathy also has meds that increase quality and
quantity of life.
The first thing is to know what is going on, of course.
