This is truly transformative treatment! My good friend's cat had this - the hospital stay was on the short side because the cat + the thyroid tumor was small and thus, the dose was small. The nuke med place that did the procedure has great info about "isolating" afterwards. Here's a short...

Afraid I can't help with color - but i just wanted to say what a beauty!! She's stunning.

Oh - how sweet. I hope you name her "Shiner" (black eye!) ;)

anti-nausea (i.e. gravol) causes drowsiness so does a big trip to the vet (think "emotional exhaustion") She's a little baby, they require a lot of sleep anyway, over 20 hours/day. Sleep is very beneficial for a growing youngster. I think she will be back to normal tomorrow. (just an aside...

Sometimes a deeper dive into parasite testing is necessary (bloodwork). My kitten - from a rescue, so she was housed with many other little rescue/feral kittens and who knows what was getting passed back and forth between them in the communal litter boxes. - had atrocious diarrhea OMG the...

When my beloved Kami died, I swore i would never, ever get another pet. The sadness was too much. Well, about 4 months went by and i decided i couldn't live without little paws padding around, but i felt it would be disloyal to Kami if i got another cat (I know....I know). Anyway, I looked up...

If time and patience allows - get them used to the carrier and car rides. Or learn a clever strategy (like take cat + carrier into the bathroom when you need to load a cat! in a bathroom, there's no furniture for them to hide under. Plus the bandaids are there for when you get bloodied :)...

Congratulations on your adoption. Marley is gorgeous. The profile picture where he is looking up at you and the one with the paw on your face melt my heart. Reminds me of my last cat who had a similar profile. Anyway--he already looks devoted to you. May you have many many many years of joy...

Yes to both I think! Which bloodtest did your vet do? A1C?--it measures blood glucose over time and if this is elevated, it is more likely your cat has diabetes, than a 1 time bloodglucose test). A more accurate picture is home testing the blood over several days. Vets will often lend you a...

Pip please

My cats have always loved that purple Kong rubber brush - they are/were shorthairs though. Pip knows to jump into the shower (before i turn it on!) in the morning for her brush. I brush her in there because her fur is so fine and it floats in the air--at least if i brush her in the shower, it...

There is just something about orange boys. 100% of them are awesome! And I speak as someone who has never owned an orange cat. All the ones I've met in my life have that je ne sais quoi that makes them totally lovable (even the terrorists!)

I am curious - did your cat need washing? Is he sick? You say he almost vomited: can you tell us more? How old is your cat? normally, a cat doesn't need to be washed because they do a great job of keeping themselves clean.

high blood sugar? my diabetic cat had "sticky" urine that would seem thick and never really dry completely.

I'll let other more experienced posters weigh in, but my cat wasn't really fully grown until she was three years old, so maybe your cat is still growing and needs/wants more to eat? I consider a two year old a bit of a teenager, and you know how much they eat!! she is a lucky cat to get so much...

Don't fret! I had the same question a few months back. I got alarmed because i felt a bump on the back of my cat's leg and there are only two fine carpal whiskers on each leg so i didn't notice them. Of course I started panicking and thinking she possibly had a cancerous growth and i googled...
