Feebys, thanks for that heartfelt and honest reply. I'm humbled, since you're dealing with more than I had to. Agreed that I'm getting way ahead of myself. Glad that your cat is maintaining weight and still seems to have good quality of life. I can totally relate to the spreadsheet! It's the only way to keep track of it all.
Back when my Jasmine was first diagnosed, I strongly considered the "radiocat" (radioiodine) procedure, but then I guess I perhaps waited too long and once the CRF diagnosis came along, then maybe based on vet advice or else my own feelings about it I never pursued it farther. Out of curiosity, however, I just Iooked it up. Didn't realize there are so few locations that even do it - so that might have been the deciding factor. None near me.
Might I ask what you use to treat the hyperthyroidism? Perhaps there are newer meds available now. Back when I went through it, it was pretty much just the methimazole.
