To Jennifer and her sable who has recently gained weight:
 
A couple of years ago, my 1# sprite, Butterscotch suddenly had a voracious
appetite and gained so much weight in so little time that her belly
dragged on the floor.  A trip to the vet and an x-ray revealed a stomach
full of food, but no blockage.  She actually had an adrenal tumor and
required surgery.  The appetite and size change were a side effect.
 
Take your fuzzy to the vet.  Cushings syndrome is serious stuff.
 
Good luck.
 
Cindy
Beren and Pippin too! (happy to be home after being altered)
