My cat Pallina had stopped eating her usual amount of food, she was much less hungry than her usual, she was quieter too. She was losing weight.
At that time my other cat Lola was seriously sick and we were all so sad and depressed.
Pallina was a very sensitive cat, so I mistook these signs and thought she was sensing our mood.
A few months later Lola went to the Bridge, Pallina didn't resume her habits, so three or months later I took her in to the vet and he said he was suspecting HT.
I said he was wrong because Pallina was showing symptoms that were the opposite, and he said it was an uncommon case of Apathetic HT.
You know the rest of the story, she was put on methimazole pills, then eargel, which was easier on her stomach. I joined that group where they gave me lots of suggestions that my vet agreed with.
Because I had rejected the pills from the beginning, I started looking for a facility that could do the I-131, and I had the luck to cross that member that helped me.
As far as I know, the Apathetic HT shouldn't interfere with the meds differently to the common form of the disease.
The group was informed of Pallina's uncommon condition, but didn't said anything different to what they said to others.
Anyway, if you want to look for more info about this, you are doing the right thing.
