Sudden weight gain?

[ninestone]

Kate has started gaining a lot of weight in the last few months, increasing from 2.8 oz to 3.5 oz in just 2 months! Otherwise she seems to be pretty much her normal self, maybe a little less energetic.

Both Kate and Caroline are getting older, about 2.5 yrs old this month (Nov 2014). Might this just be age-related, or could it indicate some kind of health issue? It seems rather a lot of gain in a short time for just age. Here is a history of their weights:

Aug 28 2013
Kate:---------- 2.5 oz (71 g)
Caroline:------ 2.1 oz (60 g)

Jan 1 2014
Kate:---------- 2.3 oz (65 g)
Caroline:------ 1.9 oz (54 g)

April 28 2014
Kate:---------- 2.4 oz (68 g)
Caroline:------ 2.1 oz (60 g)

July 29 2014
Kate:---------- 2.7 oz (77 g)
Caroline:------ 2.2 oz (62 g)

Sept 21 2014
Kate:---------- 2.8 oz (79 g)
Caroline:------ 2.0 oz (57 g)

Nov 24 2014
Kate----------- 3.5 oz (99 g) !!!
Caroline:------ 2.2 oz (62 g)

I've had that happen with some of ours too. It may or may not mean anything. Older females are prone to ovarian cysts and tumours, but those may or may not have an effect on health and there isn't much you can do about either way.

OK, thanks for the reply!
