So we took Tigger to the vet today (and lets just say she did NOT enjoy the car ride) because she has been losing weight recently. They ran a bunch of blood tests and a urinalysis, updated her vaccines, etc, and discovered a tumor on her thyroid. We have to give her 5mg Methimazole tablets for the next 15 days to see if we can stabilize it. We're hoping she will be fine and everything will level out for her. We want to do everything we can to keep her having a happy healthy life in her senior years
The vet recommended radiation therapy as well.
Anyone have any experience with radiation therapy for hyperthyroidism? They gave us a pamphlet with her receipts telling us that it will eliminate the disease and has a high success rate.
We were very releived when we found out it was something "do-able" rather than, say, FeLV, FIV, or a malignant cancer.
