Hi everyone...
My vet has been telling me my cat most likely has ibd as he's always starving, losing weight, and has constant diarrhea.
But over the course of the last week or so my cat has been meowing nonstop (never previously meowed), is extremely shaky and wobbly, and can't seem to rest or relax. This sounds more like hyperthyroidism to me. His bloodwork in Jan showed T4 at 1.3 which doesn't seem abnormal but how fast can this disease progress?
I have an ultrasound scheduled for this Monday and can get a thyroid test done then but I'm just curious if any of these symptoms sound more like hyperthyroidism vs ibd.
Also what can I do for him now if I have to wait a week for this test. He's starving and crying constantly and nothing I give him satisfies him. Just trying to figure out how to get him to Monday for testing when he won't stop eating and having diarrhea.
Thanks everyone!!
