    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    Well I think I found the reason why? He threw up this morning. 8 days is a long time but, he probably was yowling and waking up because he felt sick. I will up the dose and see if that makes any difference but I am feeling pesimisitic this morning.

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    It happened last year during the winter and at times it wouldn't make sense it was allergies. My theory again goes to his asthma so I have ordered his medications. When he was throwing up his asthma / watery eyes seemed to go away... I think it was because the throwing up helped clear phelm...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    My vet did end up replying. She did agree to it.. (the steroid) but I told her to hold off as I am having success with the egg yolk lectin. And I am, as of this morning there has been no throw up in a week. That is major. But now I have a new problem. My cat keeps waking up and crying...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    His stools aren't really that loose. I mean.. I am considering increasing the dose. Still no throw up (on day 6) but there were a couple of times this morning it looked like he might. So I don't want to get too cocky. I gave him a pro biotic and enzyme. During that 11 day streak where he...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    The real life vet hasn't responded so I am guessing that is a no. The good news is that the Egg Yolk Lectin / fasting may be working. It has been 5 days without a throw up... *** crossing fingers *** One reason I think I might be on to something is that his behavior has changed this week. He...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    Thank you I had a hard time finding anything. BTW, I lucked out today and posted on a feline Lymphoma site. One VERY nice person had already paid for an on line Veterinary Service and she offered to present my cat's case to the vet. I gave her all my records and the full ultrasound results...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    I emailed my vet to ask her for more gabapentin. (thinking I would use it to get a new vet) and my vet suggested that we do a GI function test (she says that is a blood test) does anyone know anything about that?

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    No not that far back. It started around summer of last year... 2021. He has had bouts of throwing up before (1x every 4 weeks or so) but not the constant 72 hour throw ups I don't know .. I have given him Pepcid AC and that has not worked. In addition I have set it up so he is getting food...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    I have tried them all. But the Egg Yolk Lectin will still be tried. It just arrived. I think fasting is a possibility. I had only one solid run where my cat didn't throw up. That was after he had an ultrasound. At first I thought that was because of lack of hair on his tummy. But as he still...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    I have seen it a few times now but here is the link. I am not saying I am going to do 24 hour fasts but I might see what happens if I give him the same food but just with more space between them...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    No not sure where the fur is coming from. I have taken to brushing him daily with the "brush glove" and the furminator. Not only that... his entire stomach has been shaved. (for an ultrasound). He is a short hair cat. I even vaccum daily and have hard woods. Not sure what is happening with the...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    Well, Buckwheat had a terrible night. First I think he did a real hair ball throw up. I had forgotten that hair ball throw ups have a "noise" to them. Hack hack hack...He also had zero liquid with this one. Typically his regular throw ups are mostly water, no noise -- just blurg - all at once...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    I am going to give that a try. I have done some research and lost of motility does seem to describe my cat. It is his own hair he is throwing up. Once again after a throw up... he had gone a few days largely happy and healthy. So, seems to me that whatever is happening has to build up...

    Well he threw up again today. And today was massive. Tons of hair. Don't know what to think...

    Newly Diagnosed Hyperthyroid

    You have been very helpful! It is nice sometimes to just bounce ideas off people. As you know, and I don't think this is a horrible thing.... I am not insanely in love with my cat the way some people might be. Of course I want him around but if it appears he is suffering even if I don't have a...
