I agree, but the vet just saw his loss of weight and blood readings and assumed it was all due to the thyroid when the kidney failure was also to blame. A month earlier, he had also told me to stop the steroids Mikka had taken long term - the weight loss started as I discontinued the steroid so probably both the steroid and the active thyroid were keeping the kidney failure at bay.
Again and again, vets (and doctors too) just cure the last thing they see and fail to look at the whole picture. I don't think Mikka could have lived much longer as he had multiple problems and was already old, but his last months could have been handled better and certainly more sensitively.
