Bulimia is a disorder characterized by a sudden increase in appetite. It usually manifests itself in fits and starts with an uncontrollable feeling of hunger. The feeling of fullness from the food is practically lost. Bulimia is often a cause of obesity.

Bulimia in animals can be caused by prolonged starvation, certain endocrine disorders, inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, and helminth infestation.

Obesity

Deprived of the opportunity to actively spend their leisure time, our pets are doomed to wait obediently for the return of their owners in the hope of getting a fifteen-minute walk from the flat to the grocery shop. As a reward for their loyalty and love, they will receive bonuses in the form of all sorts of goodies from the table.

Of course, besides a passive lifestyle and too much food, there may be other, medical reasons for obesity. Endocrine, reproductive and digestive system disorders can lead to this condition.
