Hi there! Mama is now a eating up freshly boiled, wild caught shrimp& purina One Tender Selects Blend.
I131 is radioactive isotope injection to stop hyperthyroid, we were giving her meds transdermal, but it wasn't helping to control it and she couldn't handle the increasing of meds. So fingers...
Well I'm hoping someone can help me. This site was VERY helpful lasted year when we had to deal with hepatic lipidosis. (Sadly we lost Squeaky)
This year Squeak's 16 year mom Mama had to have I131 injection last Wednesday. She was in quarantine for 48 hrs and home. She's sleeping about 12-13...
I am soo sorry. I understand the pain you must be going through. Both the hubby and I still can't believe Squeak is gone. We only regret that Squeak couldn't pass at home out on her deck looking out over her garden. . It's such a quiet house now.....
Take comfort in knowing you will make...

We were speaking with vet when tech came to get vet. Squeak had a seizure and was given Cpr. Sadly our little dear heart did not make...
Thanks @crimmie she seems weaker today. But I think the 12 hour vet trip on Tuesday wiped her out. (Chest tap & liver aspirate) The vet said we can crush the potassium pills and mix with her syringes of food. Tried that today no vomiting. Really I think she vomited last night due to force of...

From the hubby:
Pathology update:

Inflammatory cells present, hence a little inflammation

A lot of fat, hence Hepatic Lipidosis
Stay with current treatment plan

Only gave her half dose of potassium pill. I'm worried she'll vomit. We'lol give her rest in the morning.
@Denice I think u might be right. She's been on prednisone for some time.that can change cell structure too.
