My vet supposedly checked for kidney disease. I'll ask to see the test results again to make sure. She was quiet and calm went I went home for lunch. I'm hoping she's feeling better. The vet said hyperthyroidism for cats is similar to what a person on speed all the time would feel like. Sorry to...

Hi Jan, Thanks for writing. Do you remember what dosage the medicine was started out with? Also trying to find out how long it takes for it to calm them down. Friskey is stictly an inside cat and wakes us up several times a night. The vet says it may take a week or two but I'm hoping it won't be...

Thanks! I was wondering why he started her out on so strong of a dose. I may cut back and wait to see what the vet tech that you know says. Thanks for asking him. Cathy

Thanks, I appreciate any info I can get. I'm from a small town and we don't have the best vets here. Their test only show up to 7. He said hers was higher than that but he had no way of knowing how much higher.

Hello, Mt 14 year old baby has hyperthyroid. My vet started her on 5mg twice a day. I was wondering if this is a large dose or normal. At first he said 3 times a day then changed to twice a day. Also how long before the meds start working? She was calm last night but I heard her sneeze several...

Hello, My 14 and a half year old cat has been diagnoised with hyperthyroid. She also has feline leukemia. The vet says nothing will work for her and wants me to put her to sleep. I'm at a loss as of what to do. She eats all the time which is not a problem. She is an inside cat and wakes us up...

Hi, Thanks, I'll check into it. I have to take her back next week just for a recheck. I'll ask then. Cathy

Hi, You're probably right. She's so active and has always been so healthy I guess hearing that just threw me for a loop. I've always fed her good quality food so I'm gonna quit beating myself up over it and accept she's just getting old. The vet had one cat there that was 23 years old. He...

Hello, Sorry to hear about your baby's disease. I have a question for you. I just took my 14 year old cat to the vet. She had to have two teeth pulled and her teeth cleaned. The vet said her jawbone is brittle. He said he saw fistula's going up into the jawbone. He could even scrape some away...

Hello, Just a quick update on Friskey. I brought her home from the vet and she's doing fine. Hasn't clawed at her mouth anymore. Takes her pain medicine and antibiotic fine. Was stressed at first but she calmed down when I put her in my bedroom. That's her favorite place to be. Sure glad she's...

Hi, Thanks! That's probably what we'll have to do. Cathy

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I put in a call to the vet. Waiting on him to call me back. I'm hoping if I go get her today we'll have a good night tonight. Bad storms here for the last 3 nights. Power went out so we've had no sleep. I also work for an electrician and the phones are ringing off the...

Hi, I just read where your cat had some teeth pulled. I'm having a problem with my cat. She just had two pulled yesterday and won't leave the stitches alone. She clawed at her mouth and I had to take her back to have them restitched. Did you have to do anything to keep your cat from pulling...

Hello, I just had my 14 year old's teeth cleaned and two had to be pulled. I brought her home yesterday. She was still a little groggy. When she came to she started clawing at her mouth like she was trying to get something that was stuck out. She pulled her stitches loose. I had to take her...

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I would have never thought of putting her on the washer.
