I am calling the vet at 9, but thought I'd run this past you.
Arthur is my hyperthyroid kitty. He is 10 years old and was diagnosed just about a year ago.
He was on 1/4 tablet of methimizole each day. Then recently, since it is so hard to quarter the pills, with my vets approval, he is now on 1/2 every other day. That has been going on for about 2 weeks. I did it because I thought he was not getting the correct dose on a 1/4 pill since they were so hard to break evenly.
But he just keeps getting thinner. He eats ok, but I know he needs to be seen. I am hoping that it is just his meds and they need to be upped.
A couple years ago, my cat Spacy, a huge tabby boy just dropped a ton of weight very quickly. The vet felt his belly and looked at me and with sadness said that it was a tumor, and it had invaded other organs. Spacy went to the bridge that day.
So, if you can spare some vibes for Arthur, that would be nice. He is white with a black blob on his side, a black tail and a black "cap" on his head. My vet is good about getting us in the same day so I will post as soon as there is news.
Thanks guys, from me and Arthur.
