    Why is she so scared

    Cats should be spayed/neutered as soon as they are big enough, especially males. Zelly should have been neutered more than a year ago!

    Mental health question

    I agree with everyone else's suggestions. Ask a neighbor, friend or family to take you. Alcohol is never the answer!!

    PICKY!?!?

    Thank you so much for the info!! Are yours the tiny, round, orange-coated pills? I assumed since they were coated that they shouldn't be broken..? His TT4 was 7.1μg when he was first tested several weeks ago. He will only be on them for a couple more weeks because he is scheduled for...

    PICKY!?!?

    Thanks! The vet prescribed 5mg twice a day but I thought that was too much. The pills are coated and tiny so I don't think they're supposed to be cut in half.

    PICKY!?!?

    I have a 12 y.o. male recently diagnosed Hyperthyroidism and a 7 y.o. petite female. Main concern is keeping 12 y.o. from losing too much weight before scheduled Radioactive Iodine treatment in 4 weeks. (Giving him 5mg Felimazole 1/day) Also, hoping to prevent Hyperthyroidism, I switched them...

    Flies

    If it's a wood or steel door, you can install a cat flap. I installed 2 many years ago... 1 on door between conditioned space and garage and another on the side garage door. This way they can come and go as they please.

    Orange or cream

    So precious 🤗 I don't know how people see orange in a cat... orange is very bright. I had one similar and I always referred to her color as TAN.

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

    I'm going to look into this more because I think 5mg pills BID are too much for my cat.. I think it has to do with the fact that they are coated. Thanks... will research further!

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

    I know this is too late but I just read this about Felimazole/methimazole online... "Tablets must be swallowed whole, do not crush or split tablets".

    Methimazole (brand name Tapazole)

    Hi. I live about an hour from Tampa, FL and the only place that offers Radioactive Iodine Treatment is there. I scheduled Zeus for it in May and it's still another 5 weeks or so away. So, I finally started him on Felimazole but have to stop pills 2 weeks before treatment and get some blood...

    Methimazole (brand name Tapazole)

    Hi. I just started my Hyperthyroid 12 y.o. male on Felimazole 5mg 2x/day. His TT4 was 7.1. Do you think that's too much? He's scheduled for Radioactive Iodine Treatment but not for another 5 weeks or so. I don't know if Felimazole can be cut. Plus they're tiny. Thanks!
