    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.

    Thanks for this. The vet did explain that about kidney disease but not anywhere close to how you just did!

    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.

    Hyperthyroidism.

    Hi we are in similar boats. My 16 year old cat was just diagnosed with hyperthyroid. She won't eat though that's a larger problem. We are giving her the tablets but it's a struggle to get them in. The vet said if we really having a hard time we could do the transdermal stuff which is a bit...

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

    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...

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

    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. Obtain refills, do not discontinue. " So it's .25 and we are to follow up in two weeks. So we made an appointment...

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

    T4 was 14.0 and yes we were told about the thyroid meds could cause this but she is on the lowest dose possible. .25 every twelve hours. Thank you so much.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    They did not do a dental x ray just a mouth exam. She just had her teeth cleaning in January, but I realize that something could have changed. They gave her a shot of cerenia but it did not seem to help. She may have nausea (can’t tell) but no vomiting in fact she rarely does no diarrhea...

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

    Her T4 is 14.0 I just checked the test results. No the present vet is not a feline only vet. The emergency vet gave her Maropitant citrate which I believe is an anti nausea medication.

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

    I know in a small percentage of cases hyperthyroidism can cause a cat to lose their appetite. We have a 16 year old cat that was always a big eater, think take food off of your plate eater. She was always healthier other than last year they gave her a liver supplement and said her liver...
