Oberon is 15 years old and has hyperthyroidism and CRF.
Our vet put him on on 5mg of Tapazole per day (1/2 tab every twelve hours). He was showing improvement for ten days and was gaining a little weight. Then he started repeatedly throwing up foamy liquid and our vet said to take him off for five days and reintroduce at 1/4 tab twice a day (2.5 mg per day). Five days later, he was throwing up the same stuff, so she (the vet) said to lower it to 1/4 tab once per day (1.25 mg per day). This has worked for only a couple of days... Now he throws up every time, about two hours after I give him 1/4 tab (1.25 mg). Again, I have taken him off of it completely.
I will be calling our vet again on Monday, but was wondering if anyone has advice or can give options I can discuss with her. He is not a candidate for the radioactive iodine, due to his CRF.
Here's a pic of Oberon. Thanks in advance for any help.
