>> Ive had him now for about 6 months in my house and just recently in the last month or so, he has started losing weight and looks really skinny compared to a month ago, however like I said he still eats fine, goes to the bathroom and is very active. What can I do? Does he need to see a vet, or is there something else that can be done? Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give!
>>Thanks!

I would a vet visit is most positively in order. I would look at doing both a fecal and bloodwork. With it being a stray, naturally you have no age on him, but it just may be old age kicking in. Also there could be kidney issues, depending on original care, that are playing into the mix. I would first want a fecal done. Fecals must be fresh and can not be dried or refrigerated for best readings.

I would however lean towards previous bad care catching up with him. However if the values are low enough, you can work with your vet to help them.
