He WAS hyperthyroid (at TWO years yet)! Vet did free T4 and scan and both showed he was and he had 2 tumors and had both removed surgically.

When I FIRST noticed something was wrong, he was unable to handle the heat (80 Degrees hot!!!!!!) and would come in and sleep till it went down to 70.

So now his bloodwork shows everything NORMAL BUT he is a small bit LOW on his thyroid a week after the surgery, and his tolorance of the heat is worse.

He goes out on his leash about 8AM and jumps a fence or 2 (I have him on a LONG leash and simply go to the fence and talk to him and he jumps back over to my yard) and then lies in the shade and watches the birds and bugs. Then by the time temp is 84 outside he comes back in for the day and sleeps. He goes out later at 7pm when the temp starts to drop again.

Meanwhile he barely eats or drinks - just sleeps.

Is this his thyroid or do you think something else is wrong. he has tested negative to FIV/felv a bunch of times but now I hear if he has not had the Elisa test he still could be. HE is mainly an inside cat but does go out on a leash.

He is ONLY two years old and I am worried sick about him!

oh hon, I do not know. I'm sure others will answer with better feedback but I just want you to know that I'm reading your post and I feel your frustration and worry, and your boy is beautiful. Sending good thoughts,
