My 14 year old cat, tinsel, was losing quite a bit of weight, I originally thought it was just old age and thought nothing of it then she began not eating much and acting not like herself so I brought her to the vet and they said she has hyperthyroidism.
They prescribed the methimazole gel pen to apply on her ears and I've started with that a few days ago, she's not a fan of it obviously but it has to be done.
Due to financial concerns and her age I'm not really considering surgery or radiation treatment at this time, I've been reading a lot about the y/d food that hills makes and if this medication does not work I may consider it.
Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated I just want to do everything I can to help her feel better and enjoy her life for however much longer that may be!
thanks and god bless!
