She definitely has cataracts I hadn't really thought about her hearing.
They often lose weight, but sometimes they eat enough food--at least for a time--to make up for it. When Sophie (who was also fluffy) started to lose weight from it, I didn't notice at first because she was just so furry.
Given her age, it's recommended that they get blood work every 6 mos to a year to keep an eye on things like thyroid and kidney function. It couldn't hurt to get her values in the near future just to make sure. If it's not her thyroid, perhaps something else will show up on the bloodwork.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
