hello,
i posted last weekend about my 16 yr old kitty cole. My current vet informed me that he had elevated liver enzymes. I took Cole to a new vet this week.
Last night she left me a message that his bloodwork indicates that he has hyperthyroidism. It makes sense. he has many of the symptoms. I'm reading up on treatment options. He's lost a lot of weight. I will see the vet again on Tuesday. cole is getting X-rays...he also has a little heart "gallup". It sounds like the Iodine treatment is highly recommended for the thyroid. I'm worried about the separation, but want to do what will make him most comfortable.
Any input is greatly appreciated! (i will also do some searches here!)
thanks!
