 Looking for some advice. 
 
 
 My old lady is 13 years old and just last night I noticed how skinny she was. Took her in to work today and she&amp;#39;s lost at least a kilo (she&amp;#39;s usually 12.8-13.2kg so a kilo is significant).

My boy had a urine infection and lost a kg and went really off, though he didn&amp;#39;t have typical signs to make us think uti. &amp;nbsp;Maybe worth checking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most senior diets are lower calorie than adult foods so if this has been a recent food change could also be the cause. &amp;nbsp;My boy is 9 this year but leaving him on adult food as know he would drop weight on a senior one as he drops weight at the drop of a hat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
