Hi Antonio. Thanks for responding, I read all your other threads. Yes he gets a scintigraphy on 12/29 and that will determine treatment for following day. The center I'm taking it talks about that on their website. www.avmi.net

Mortimer has an appointment at www.avmi.net on December 29th. They will perform the Scintigrophy that day and if he's all set will be treated the following day. My only wish is that I could've gotten him treated sooner.

Thank you. After doing all the research and speaking with a few people we are 100% going down this path.

My handsome boy. He follows me around like a little puppy everywhere I go.

Thank you for responding. Yes I’ve been reading up on the treatment and have a good handle on it mostly. I’m just terrified to make the wrong decision And wanted to hear from people who have first hand experience. I’ll keep searching the threads and ping people directly hoping they respond.

Hello all. My 15 year old DSH boy Mortimer was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. We are considering his treatment options and there is nothing or no cost that would hinder what I would do for this boy. That being said we have scheduled an appointment with an Iodine center for December 29th...

Hello. My vet doesn't seem to think he has any of these viruses as he's been vaccinated agains them all his life. My vet says of course there is always that small remote possibility. Anybody else have any other ideas?

Just to provide some clarity as well, he's been seen by two different Vets, and outside of this raspy voice issue and the occasional drool/wet nose he is acting just fine, eating, and drinking. Thats why we are at a loss to what is going on. =/. I just want his beautiful voice to be normal...

what tests would need to be conducted to verify or rule this out? Yes I do not believe it is anything in his throat as he's had two endoscopies as well as the first endoscopy sample came back negative for cancer.

What is a URI Panel?

Also just to follow up some more. he had a recent CBC done and his platelet count is low 75.000 10^9/l as well as his PCT. Everything else on those labs was listed as normal. =[

Hello. So following up on this. So can you let me know what test to look for on his original blood work? I have access to all of Mortimers medical records online. In September of 2016 they wanted to do a T4 test on him to verify if he had thyroid issues. In November of 2016 here are the...

Thank you for your feedback. I'm going to be calling the vet today to follow up. I will keep you posted.

Hello. Thank you for the reply. Yes I do believe lab work was done but I can call back to verify if they checked his Thyroid. I do remember the last time he had his comprehensive exam prior to his voice changing they spotted an anomaly on his thyroid test and I had them conduct a more in...
