First I want to thank all those who responded to my kidney failure question.My baby, Tinker, is now taking fluids with some persuasion and we will keep her healthy. I have another kitty, Clyde, who has hyperthyroid. He is on medication daily but he has lost a lot of weight. He looks so scrawny. He is constantantly eating both wet and dry food. Dry food is Science diet. The wet food was not the recalled brand. Any thought of some food or supplement I could give him to help him gain some weight. He's thyroid levels are good, just checked this month.

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

Do you know if your vet did a free T4 along with the total T4? It sounds to me like your kitty still has the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Hill's a/d is a good, calorie-dense food to put weight on but I don't think it's usually fed for long periods of time. Did you vet give you any ideas?

I don't have any particular food suggestions - for her, it took a long time to get those pounds back (actually, she's still a little less than she used to weigh).
