My cat Inka is 13 years old, still very active, eats well, poops well and behaves like a normal cat. But last summer she started losing weight, like A LOT of weight. I took her to the vet and she told me that Inka has a thyroid problem and prescribed Methimazole Compounded Transdermal which...

I have a 17 year old domestic short hair tortoise shell that has me at my wits end and in a difficult and frustrating situation. About 5 months ago she started losing weight. She also became extremely picky about food, she would refuse almost everything. I have been to the vet numerous times...

My two older kitties (females, 14 years old) have had frequent UTI's lately. We tried D Mannose, it's not helpful for my cats, as, it gives one of my cats diarrhea. My vet (who is not really a home/natural remedy kind of vet) recently recommended wiping the cats bottoms each day to try to keep...

Our 11 year old cat has been treated with Metimazole gel for the past year.  This past week her one ear began to look scabby and inflamed.  At first we thought it was an abcess from a bite from another cat.  We began treating her with peroxide and cortazone cram.   Her  ear began  getting worse...

Terra the Cat was recently disguised with an overactive thyroid and will need daily medication for the rest of her life. Like most kitties, Terra is rather particular about what ahe will and won’t eat, and I fear that forcing a pill down her throat every day could damage our bond (even if it is...

I actually treat two hyperthyroid cats daily with transdermal methimazole, my own cat and my mother's. I always carefully wear gloves when applying it, but I'm wondering if I may be getting exposed just by my cat cleaning herself, wiping her ears with her paws, and distributing it over her coat...

My cat Musiaka hasn’t been doing well lately. He’s lost a huge amount of weight and is ravenous whole day long, increased peeing and pooping as well. At some point he started urinating exclusively on the sofa but it stopped once we changed the litter. He’s also vomiting extra much lately and...

I have 2.5 mg amlodipine pills that need to be split into 4 parts. They are not only pretty small (6mm, which is less than 1/4"), but also hard as rocks and neither of my current pill splitters seem to be capable of cutting them into 2 totally equal parts, much less 4. I can use either of these...

Terra the Cat was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid earlier this year when her vet determined she was nearly 3 pounds underweight. Admittedly, she had recently come off a diet after my roommate noticed she seemed too skinny. Her vet also recommended that I switch her to wet food, and gave his...

I give my kitties a small dose of slippery elm, daily, to reduce hairballs and to prevent constipation (I squirt the slippery elm into their mouths with a syringe, as they don't especially care for the flavor). I mix up a batch of the syrup each week and keep it in the fridge, between uses. I...

Hello, i have a 16 year old feral cat, Mollie, that has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She is at the a 12. Trying to figure out some natural ways to treat. Cannot trap her every few months to take to vet for monitoring if prescribed meds. This is just not an option as she would have to be...

Hello. I’m new here but I’ve learned a lot lurking on this site over the years! I finally registered because my cat Ed (age 12) was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I’d suspected it, as he had all of the symptoms, then his blood work came back with a total T4 of 4.8. We ordered...

My 15 year-old Liza has both hyperthyroidism and chronic feline gingivostomatitis. As I posted last week, after two years, we've been having trouble keeping her thyroid levels properly controlled with methimazole, so I was going to do radioiodine 131 treatment, but to do that, we had to take...

Hi everyone! I've had my buddy Toby for 17 years now. This past Saturday, I noticed he was lying down in front of my entry door which he never really does. This continued Sunday and on Monday, I decided to take him to the emergency vet. Last time I had taken him to the vet was last year in...

Hi everyone, I found this forum some weeks ago while dealing with my cat's health issues, and thought I'd ask you lovely people for advice. This is gonna be a really long post of what me and my cat have been dealing with since July, and I apologize for the length! My baby boy is 12 years old. I...

I have a 17 yr old cat that was put on Felimazole for her hyperthyroidism, 2.5 mg once a day, after 4 days she became very lethargic and would not eat much, so it was stopped for several days and her activity and appetite returned to normal. She does not exhibit the ravenous appetite that some...

Mooch has been using Tramadol transdermal on her ears for arthritis pain. I use a finger cot to apply it and rub well; but it still seems to be building up some on her ears. I don’t want it to interfere with absorbing each days dose. Any tips on cleaning her ears? I alternate ears as directed...

May 26th I took my cats in for their annual checkups, Indy had a clean bill of health but Kabuto was a different story. He is 16 years old. Kabuto's heart has a grade 3 murmur and his chest was full of fluid. He has heat disease and the vet found his t4 levels at 150, three times as high as...

Well, folks, I guess it's one of those things that happens to cats as they get older. Sassy, who I pulled off the street a few years back, is 14 on the low end - testimony from neighbors suggests that she could be closer to 17 or 18, but the vet's guess based on dental health is 14. At her...

One of my cats (both of my cats are females, 14 years old, and, both have hyperthyroid which we treat with transdermal methimazole), has recently had a UTI. She was on liquid compounded amoxycillin for two weeks and that cleared the UTI. But, I want to give her something to prevent future UTI's...
