The ulcers are probably very painful for her.
thank you so much.... I don't understand, she has been sleeping some, but when she is up, she is following me and my wife around the house, or wants to sit on the patio a few minutes, but she is constantly going to the water bowls and looking down at it, getting her face right over it, but she won't drink... about an hour ago, she did come in the kitchen and licked a bowl of tuna juice 2 or 3 times, and she actually ate a few licks/bites of some chicken baby food we got her, neither came back up. I just gave her half a dropper of water in her mouth and as soon as I set her down she went to the water bowl looked at it and walked away.
But keep doing what you are doing.
Did you ask your old vet if giving her the pepsid AC, 1/4 tab of a regular 10 mg tab, meaning only 2.5mg would be okay?
As one of the other members mentioned, getting her hydrated, and eating would be helpful, so whatever you can do to manage this, and keep her food down, is going to help her feel better.
Keep on with the chicken baby food if this is working, and syringing the water, too. Or the pedialyte that you mentioned before.
If your old vet had already given her a sub-q shot, for hydration today, she may be feeling better and more alert.
Keep an eye on her litter movements, pee and poop, and just take it day by day.
I wish there was something for the ulcers, such as steroids or something, but I really don't know. And your vet would have mentioned it, already.
Still keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. You are doing a lot, and Sadie knows that.
Foxxycat had already mentioned this helpful website, which also has a sub section on hyperthyroid....http://www.felinecrf.org/hyperthyroidism.htm#treatments
You probably already know about various yahoo groups as well...https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/feline-hyperT/info
