Odo is my newest. He's been with me for a week and a half. The vet estimates that he's about 12 years old. He has become quite the talker, especially at night. About once every hour for several hours, he'll start talking very loudly. If I call out to him, he'll often quiet down shortly thereafter.
He had bloodwork done in May that showed normal T4 levels (1.7, I believe). He is being monitored for slight anemia and will be going back in at the end of the month. In terms of sight, he takes a long time to focus on objects, and the vet said he has diminished sight in his right eye.
Other than thyroid problems and poor eyesight, are there other medical reasons he might be calling out in the night (and day for that matter)? Sometimes, I think he's trying to find Willow so they can play, but that's just a guess. I do plan to have his thyroid rechecked at the end of the month, but are there other things I should be looking into? Could it be because of his eyesight? If so, would night lights help?
