    16 year old female cat not eating and we are told it’s hyperthyroidism?

    That's so much. That's really positive to hear. I am taking notes on all of these things, to discuss with our vet and to try. Even though she has stopped eating, she is still voluntarily drinking. She walks to her water bowl and drinks several times a day.

    Please help I’m struggling to give my cat medication

    The pill pockets usually do work (the ones made by Greenies is what we use). BUT you cannot touch the pill with your finger and then touch the outside of the pill pocket, otherwise she knows its the pill and won't eat it. It's hard to do but we noticed that is an issue.

    I just reread it and they are 5mg tablets but the instructions are to cut that table into .25 pieces, which we are doing and is not easy. I guess they did not have that dosage in pill forms. Hopefully when we see the regular vet they will have it. We were at an emergency vet on the weekend...

    I just pulled up the instructions and this is what it says: "Give 0.25 tablet by mouth every 12 hours unless otherwise directed by a veterinarian as treatment for hyperthyroidism.

    T4 was 14.0. No they did not give us the mirtazapine but an anti nausea med in a shot. Thanks so much.

    Oh this is interesting to know that the food tastes bad to her. I did not realize that could happen. Thanks so much for the food suggestions.

    Thank you for this. We were able to get an entire tin of food into her today through a syringe we blended it up. She does not fight us when we are feeding her, she licks and swallows but wants nothing on her own. We will look into the feeding tube.
