This is an exact repeat of what my vet said back in January. They wanted to put her down that day. They said her results were too high to read and they felt it masked a kidney disease. I can go on but what you are saying is an exact recording of what I was told. I took her to another vet. She...

At least now I know it is common with other cats too. I thought maybe my cat just had a strange obsession.

My cat is obsessed with the smell of bleach. Whenever I clean with it, she always has to go where i am using it. If I use it on the floor, I have to keep her out of room until floor is dry or she will go in and rub all over the floor. It is a funny addiction but does anyone else have a cat with...

I am getting the funds up for that and now that the kidney is fine, that is a great option for her.

I finally have an update. Her level is at .5 (.6-3) so it is no longer high. The vet actually wants me to reduce the pills now as it is a bit low. She found no issues with her kidney and she has gained some weight back. She did say she was a little dehydrated but my cat vomits when in car so she...

Thanks for the link. I am going to check it out. I will also follow up and see if they do offer scintigraphy so I can get it done. Thanks

That is a great tip. I will make sure to take off the meds before the treatment but I think this vet would let me know. Do you have the link to Mark's blog? I did mention scintigraphy so I will assume she will do that. Thanks for the great advice

I plan to make a review on Google and yelp so others use caution with this vet.

Thanks. She is doing very well. She plays and acts just like she has in the past.

She went to the vet and she weighs 9.2 pounds. The vet did an exam and she looks well. She could not understand why the other vet wanted to put her down. We talked about radioactive iodine therapy and I am going to try to get the money up for it. But since she just had blood work done, she...

I wanted to edit above post but could not find a way to do that as I have a few things to add. This is the cat a vet wanted to put down a week ago based on how she looks because she thinks she has kidney disease. I looked at symptoms for kidney disease and she only has two and those two are...

These are a few photos of her today. She doesn't even look sick but I know she has hyperthyroidism as she had some signs. As I have said, the pills have helped her a lot.

When I spoke with them on the phone they mentioned checking her blood every 30 days and then every 6 months. Not sure of the time period for each though. I should find out more Friday.

She goes to the vet in a few days and have written down everything to ask her. I will say that she has been gaining weight back on since she started taking the pills. She shows no signs of illness. She is active and she does not drink/eat excessively nor urinated a lot. I am so glad to see her...

Yes, I will let you know what the vet says. I have spoken with OSU and will discus this with the vet. I think only certain vets in m y area also do it. As for the vet not covering it, I think it was thar she just did not care. The new vet is also doing a urinalysis so why didn't the other vet...

She is set to see a NEW vet next Friday. They plan to check her blood again (sent to outside lab) and will do a urinalysis to check her kidneys. As for radioactive iodine treatment, they said MEDVET does them.

She acted like she did not know what radioactive iodine treatemnt is. When I asked her she said, "What is that?" That is when she said she does not think they do it. I am located in Columbus Ohio. And those in this area, the vet I saw was at Rascal Animal Hospital which is a very reputable...

After listening to everyone here and on the Facebook groups and talking to my daughter, I am done with this vet. I am going to go to a different vet. I mentioned earlier that they were suppose to call me back today. They never did so I called them just before closing and got no where. I do not...

I forgot to mention that I think she was playing last night. She has this one toy like a ring. She likes to throw it around and carry around house in her mouth. I noticed when I got up this morning it was moved. My other cat does not play with it at all so this is how I know it was her. I am...

That makes sense. Thanks Still sitting hear waiting to hear back from vet. I know the vet she saw is not in today but someone can call me. For tonight, I am thinking about only giving her half the 2.5 tablet. I would also like them to send the blood to an outside lab.
