Hi guys....
After getting over her Staph infection, eye infection, ear infection, and the Calicivirus, Danielle had to have surgery last week
to remove polyp buildup in both ears, due to chronic neglect before we got her. We just came back from a follow-up at the Vet, and her ears are healing nicely. Her eye infection is gone.
BUT, now we have to start the thyroid medicine.
Given that only older cats get hyperthyroidism, it is probably true that Danielle is older than 5, as we were told when we adopted her. More likely 12 years old or thereabouts. This medicine she will be on for the rest of her life, or until we have a procedure done to correct it. We will do whatever is best as indicated by our Vet, or as the situation warrants.
So.... that is the latest.
P.S.... we are having the medicine made from a compounding pharmacy into a paste. We will give that a try.
