Hi, Gracie is 13 and Hyper-thyroid. As most of you know, she is the latest addition to the family, joining us on November 1st last year. When she came in, she was flea infested, skin and bones, had just returned to take medication one month ago for her thyroid, after being off of it for at least six months. She was so bad she was having trouble breathing.
It was pretty intensive to get her on track on the dosage for the thyroid medication - at first she was having blood tests every 2 weeks, then every 3 weeks, until we got to the correct dosage. After that we still ran another test to confirm. Turns out the vet was giving her 3x the dosage she needed.
Today she is thriving, completely another cat, as healthy as she can be
I was wondering, at 13 and HT, how often do I need to take her to the vet? Every 6 months?
