Thank you for your reply. We sent a message to our vet with our concerns and we’re waiting for a response.

My cat is 13. She has had IBD for a while and has been stable on 5 mg prednisolone daily. Unfortunately, probably in part because of the steroid, she has recently developed diabetes. My vet wants to change her to Budesonide 3mg twice a day. I’m okay with switching her but that dose seems way too...

Thanks guys. She won’t eat pill pockets or any other treats. I’ve tried canned baby food with just chicken and water and she wouldn’t eat that, either. I think I’ll head to petco to get a syringe and try to administer the paste that way.

I’m currently trying to give my cat lysine for her chronic URI. She used to eat the flavored paste but she won’t eat it anymore. We’re having weight and appetite issues with her so crushing the pill into her food won’t work. She only eats dry food and is only snacking a little throughout the day...

Thank you guys for your help! I’ll discuss a culture and an antihistamine with our vet!

Was it hard to get them to culture it? That has never been mentioned as an option for us. They’ve always just said it’s feline herpes and no further testing was brought up.

There doesn’t seem to be much of a pattern based around seasons. We’ve noticed that she can get a flare up if she has been really stressed (like a big get trip) but even when she is relaxed, she has gotten unexplained increases in her symptoms.

My apologies, I can’t figure out how to delete posts but I realized that your cat has already had the treatment. Hoping things are well!

Our cat ended up having a terrible allergic reaction to the thyroid medication after around 2 weeks of taking it so we immediately stopped the meds. I’m not saying that your cat will experience any problems with the meds but ours ended up getting the radioactive iodine treatment and she did fine...

We’ve had our cat since she was 4 months old and this summer, she turned 8. Ever since we adopted her, she’s had upper respiratory infection symptoms. She’s been on multiple different antibiotics, an antiviral and lysine. Through the years, she’s always had a baseline of symptoms. She was never...

Are there any vets in your area that make house calls?

Also, it’s not usually the most effective treatment but since your cat can’t tolerate the meds, did your vet talk to you about the special diet they can eat? Maybe that could be an option?

I am not sure of lifespan if the thyroid is left untreated. You’d have to discuss that with your vet. I can however tell you that aside from the stress of having to stay in the hospital for a few days, the injection isn’t too bad for the cat. My understanding is that it’s just one single...

Maybe you could call your vet and see if he can get some anti nausea injection meds? That’s what we had to do with our cat when she couldn’t keep the oral nausea meds down. It’s really rough waiting for the thyroid meds to leave their system. It took our cat a week and a half before she even...

Hello! Just thought I'd post an update incase any one else has been dealing with the same problem. After 2 weeks of being on the thyroid pills, she had a very severe reaction. She had the facial itching, sores/hives, nausea, lethargy, vomiting and loss of appetite. The vet told us to take her...

Thanks for the response! The redness has lessened and she seems to be scratching less. She is still vomiting, not a lot. Just a few times today. Ill see if she continues to vomit and if so, I'll give the vet a call.

We found out our cat has a thyroid problem. We were prescribed methimazole to be taken twice a day. She was on medication for about 2 weeks and then started vomiting a few times a day and also had a red spot below her nose and experienced facial itching. We called our vet and he said to take her...
