    Hyperthyroid and methimazole transdermal gel

    Our kitty, Misty, was diagnosed with hyperthyroid around the middle of April. She was put on the methimazole transdermal gel, and (as I said in previous postings) she is doing well, gaining weight, regaining her normal fur texture, eating normally. The last issue to resolve was her...

    Administering medicine last resort method

    I agree! Using a compounding pharmacy and having them mix the antibiotic is a GREAT idea! Even if the price is a little more, at least you know that your kitty is getting the drugs, as opposed to them spitting out the pills later on. Our kitty was on antibiotics for a while, and seemed to...

    Hyperthyroid and methimazole transdermal gel

    I appreciate everyone's input! What an eye-opening experience to know that we are not the only ones going through this. I WILL try the cleaning of the ear with some cotton balls and alcohol before applying more of the transdermal gel and see if that seems to help. I REALLY don't want to do...

    Hyperthyroid and methimazole transdermal gel

    We have had a long arduous struggle with our kitty's diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. I would appreciate anyone else's comments! We have two kitties, siblings, and raised together until their present age of 5 years. The male has had irritable bowel syndrome, so it has always been a challenge to...
