    Does anyone have experience or thoughts about using the ScoopFree system ? My 13 year-old girl is newly diagnosed with asthma and hyperthyroidism and ScoopFree is all I've ever used.

    Anyone with a hyperthyroid cat on methimazole?

    Wow..why the difference. I will check them out. I wonder if their cleaning/dental work is cheaper. I love my vet and have had her for many years,4 Seasons in Lafayette, but when you can no longer work you have to do things differently. Thanks.

    Anyone with a hyperthyroid cat on methimazole?

    Wow. The pills are $10 from the vet but I have to get the gel from a compounding pharmacy here in Walnut Creek ca and it is over$50 as is the benadryl liquid. So over $100. Do you get it by mail or from Canada? I haven't thought of looking for other sources.

    Anyone with a hyperthyroid cat on methimazole?

    Hi and I'm so sorry to know your girl is so sick. I have only been using the gel a few days so I have no idea if it is working quickly or not. I can't say that I am seeing anything that tells me one way or another. She seems pretty normal, no vomiting now, but is still being a picky eater...
